"Gryphon is mining a deep well. Just when you thought there were no more ways to stretch the form called rock and roll, this young man shows you it's still highly elastic. His work is full of vitality, innocence, and menace"-Peter Himmelman
"Gryphon's songs are as unpredictable as they are unusual. He's
brilliant! He's going to make a big, wonderful, splash!"-Peter Yarrow

Hey kiddo. Happy new year. I just did another Vipassana retreat. You have to try it sometime. The ones taught by SN Goenka. dhamma. org Did you ever find my kick pedal? Did you ever get paid by Bard?
Nah i aint in Nashville, probably jus says for the same reason it says my name is Jim Lasein -- so the damn government cant find me as easily! I just moved back to Ashland, OR actually, finished up high school in treatment (that's where i been). So you're at Bard? How are you liking it? (I guess your a sophomore now, ya?) I was planning on visiting there, but they didnt want me, so Im going back east next week but Ill only be in southern Vermont (visiting Marlboro with a stop by Putney) You still playing music i see--haven't had a chance to listen yet, but i will. Hows life and all? Hope all is well-let me know! derek
ok so i forget the exact relationship that you now have with myspace so there is a chance that you will just not recieve this message but i do not have your e-mail and i dont know when i will have the time to call you to tell you this but dan deacon came to grinnell and he also went to bard right? and gave you a light bulb to hold? was it him that did that? because, here, in the middle of the concert he had all the house lights turned on and had me and this other big tie-died boy have a dance off in the middle of everybody and i just wanted to share that enthusiasim about him avec toi. alrighty.
ay ayyyy boooo you on line right now! I was just thinking about you and thinking you know GRYHPONE! gryphon i was thinkin' about your flick a the wrist in the direction up down this way that way the sound of the chuckcuhuchucka luck. love, esther
