that terrible red bicycle that took away your beloved Patricia...
yah! ok, right?! let’s do it (if that’s alright, with you, you know....?.....!) i’m gonna try my damndest, and if i don’t like it, well you might (not) too. let’s get that Greevil on the floor! huh! let’s get that Greevil and stomp it down! I’m and you’re some Twain!
Please sway the airwaves in Twain's favor! if you reside in the greater New England local, call WERS at 617-482-8890 or email em at request@wers.org and tell them that they'd better play some Twain, or else!

but ofcourse! but i've got to check into some things first. i'm heading to CT on the 21st on the train and don't know about times yet. if it doesn't work out i'll be back in Boston on the 4th or 5th of august and again on the 11th. what you got going on around then? i'll either call you or write again to let you know but don't know when i'll be online again.. but lemme know about august too.
hello mr. m.d. are you still around boston? playing in the park? i'm coming through around the 21st and 24th. any time to catch up? any shows i might be able to catch too? hope you're well, like the art ya got up on your little picture here.
mr. twain, now that you've said it, i give myself permission to get my hopes up about a visit from you. what a delightful notion. thanks for telling me about that band of friends of yours.....i do, indeed, dig 'em. lovey love j
my friend mat--i am getting all misty eyed listening to those familiar songs of yours i know and love. yeesh. i hope you're doing really splendidly and......that you come to the west so we can hummmmm all day. miss you dear!
Hah, yeah. I edited my profile at a time when I thought it would be really cool to limit avenues of communication, and I haven't gotten around to changing it since.
I'm not quite sure. I got the album from a friend of mine, and it's just labeled "Twain: Insect Museum". It has six tracks, the second of which is (I think) called "Time Is Passing By" or something like that. You had it on your profile a while ago. I believe the sixth track is called "Sleep Will Overtake You." I'm not even sure if it's an album. It could possibly just be an amalgam of several of your songs.
This stuff sounds really lovely. Thanks so much for coming to the show last night and sorry we couldn't play a bit louder. Hope I can see you perform sometime soon! Take care, Elizabeth
check it out!
