got a link?

Something must have happened in his life to convince him to "go public." Maybe his girlfriend convinced him. Maybe he quit his job. Maybe he's got some illness.

Oddly, my Open Mic Jandek Cover Night last year (Jandek Day, November 5) wasn't able to chase away a bunch of acoustic singer-songwriter types in the same space. I'm going to have to try harder this year.

I think I am going to have to participate. If I start practicing now...

I think each record brings a lot into view but the whole body of work is simply terrifying. I am happy with my purchase.

Sorry if I've missed this elsewhere, but is their a website for Corwood? If not how do you go about contacting them? Google ain't givin' me shit.
