I've just went back to being "active" on the list after a brief respite.
So, you guys may have already talked about this ad nauseum, but....

I have listened to The Shout at least forty times since Saturday as well.
I don't think I've heard anything that expresses that particular pain so
well.  given that i have been feeling a great deal of that particular
brand of pain lately, i may be a little biased.  Regardless of my
predicament, I think it is up there in the top five Pete songs.  I would
love to hear a finished studio version of it someday.  When I listen to
it, it's like someone reaches their hand into my heart and pulls out the
pain until it is outside me, around me, as big as this planet.  It caused
me to think that if I could tell Pete something, someday, it would be to
thank him for providing me and the world with such music to heal by.  I'm
taking the supper club tape with me up to hike in the mountains tomorrow
(thanks again, drew.)
