THANK YOU to Irish radio show “For Folks Sake” for including “It Doesn’t Matter Much To Me” (from our forthcoming album “Windmills On The Moon”) on last night’s episode at Drive 105.3 FM.

RIP JANE GREER

Great review-essay by Scott Crider of Steven Monte's book THE SECRET ARCHITECTURE OF SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS. Required reading for serious Shakespeareans.
