Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

hey Kirk,

Thanks for giving me advice on writing lyrics. This is the first project that has involved lyrics that I have written. I hope you enjoyed that CD I sent you as well.

Take care, my friend

wait! who is Megan? who is Mike?

I just thought of you the other day. I couldn't find my A Way With Birds! LP so I played and sang Wisteria to myself. it was almost as good of a feeling. then I played the Crumble 7" a few times.
but now that I saw your comment, I decided that I have to find it. and now Wisteria & Wo are in my stereo. I haven't listened to it in ages.
Whoever produced those songs did an awesome job in my opinion.
The eerie gloom that the cello and the piano produce on Wo is awesomatic. But on the other hand, the same instrumentarium produces the awesomely quirky yet gentle feel on Wisteria.
So I guess it's up to the songs more. Me likey in any case.

Hi, all you animal lovers. The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. To help is pretty simple...it takes about 20 seconds to go to their site and click on the purple box "fund food for animals" for free. This doesn't cost you a thing.

Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. Please tell ten friends to tell ten others today!

http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/

There are other tabs on this website where you can also click to donate towards breast cancer, children's health and literacy, rain forest. Hope you will take the time to do this every day

ah... its better to be pregnant than on tour.
at least in my book.

so... congratulate your drummer on the behalf of the biggest C,DJ! fan out there.
at least on this side of the pond.

so... its okay.
but you need to come sooner or later.

I still have the envelope with your address on it.
so... when your album drops, Im going to send you some dollars for it.
and CCM on vinyl, and that one renegade 7" that Im missing. maybe a t-shirt and a button if youll have some.
YAY!
