   About The Blair-Rich Project
email theblairrichproject@gmail.com----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- send $10ppd to POBox 14642, portland, or 97293 for a copy of the CD and much love from us!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blair Vail has been a singer and songwriter since 1996, Rich has been tapping on things for decades, but it was only when his girlfriend Blair bought him a drum one Christmas that he started pretending to be a musician. Originally based on Rich playing in support of Blair's solo material, the two began collaborating on new material.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The band name predates the band by about a year, being an inevitable pun for a couple with such names.

Not sure when the party in Massachusetts is but I'd probably miss it anyway. Until then, enjoy Banksy's piece.

Blair your voice is so enchanting. It is what I imagine fairies on the moon water morning glories hum. I wish that I was more settled in my head to fully grasp it. There is peace and serenity there and I can't obtain it. You both are blessed with it and I envy you both for your up coming union and connectedness. I imagine that you two have come the closest to bliss and contentment in this insane world. I wish that I could obtain your frequency. I hope to run into you two tonight at first Thursday. However, Helen and I will be searching for the unobtainable at the same events in seperate directions. Cheers to yous, bottoms up.

I had a great time with you and Kim on Hawthorne. Helen and I went back to the crêpe place and I think that it has become my favorite restaurant. We should do it again sometime.

So, Helen says that you have a gig the day after Valentines day. Well, I am glad to be your tag along.

It has been a while and much has happened, but I will be glad to see you two again.
