Well done Gunter!
Yeah for Gunter. I bet he'll enjoy it.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Thanks, Lisa!
Fun!
OH, and thanks, too, for the big, fat link. You're basically my readership, so every bit helps.
Lisa--you use the same high tech method for giveaways that I use!

Hey everybody, this was fun. And I'm glad Debra and I have both independently arrived at the same scientific method for randomly drawing winners.
Gunter, I hope you enjoy the book and I hope I'm not your readership. You have such thoughtful and interesting posts that I always suspect that there are a bunch of other people reading your terrific posts and making fun of my goofy comments ;)
Darn! I guess I'll have to spend my own money--maybe if the IRS ever sends me my check. (That's what I get for having a Social Security nunber ending in 89.)
I had forgotten about Emerson Lake and Palmer, with their electrified versions of the classics. It reminded me of Harpers Bizarre, which did pop versions of Cole Porter hits and other Big Band era songs.)
Thanks for reminding me.
very nice for Gunter! I really like ELP, especially their Pictures at an Exhibition album.
Fun video!
Congrats to Günter! You're so generous, Lisa!
I've wishlisted this so I don't forget to nab a copy when I'm ready for new books.
P.S. Still not finished with THE DOGS OF MARCH, but it is helluva good!
Congrats to Günter!
Steve, There will definitely be more chances to win books. Anytime I can help get good books into the hands of my friends, I'm all for it. Thanks for reminding me about Harpers Bizarre. My mother had one of their albums when I was very little. Didn't they do a version of "59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)"?
Denis, I did a search on the word, "fanfare" in YouTube and they popped up. I had the same reaction -- kind of an "oh yeah, these guys were cool". I also had that ELP "Pictures at an Exhibition" album, although I preferred a classical version my parents had and I don't know if I was ever able to find the same one. At one time I think I had four albums that were versions of "Pictures at an Exhibition".
Jennifer, You're too nice and I am so glad you gave me Carrie Brown's novel. I'm a convert now. Thank YOU.
Ello, I'm so happy to hear from you! I hope you have everyone healthy again. Sorry you've been so buried in ass kickings.
Shauna, Congrats indeed! I hope he enjoys the book as much as we did :)
Lisa, Harpers Bizarre did do a version of the 59th Street Bridge Song, though I didn't know it until I looked the group up on YouTube. I had singles of "Anything Goes" and "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" by them.
