I really like yours. My response is really partly tongue-in-cheek. I immediately associated the number 78 to the Tarot deck and then realized it was an old record! :-)
ah, the memories! Small timber town, only the butcher,the pub & the mills had electricity… winding up the old gramophone at a girlfriends place and listening to such things as ‘Old Shep’ and ‘The Sheik of Scrubby Creek’… well, we only had her father’s choice of records :)
I miss those days we spent dusting off the old Grateful Dead records (Europe ’72), drinking northern lagers and you sharing your extensive knowledge about life, love and Dylan. You’re a true talent and I am honored to know you. I miss you and thank you for everything. You’ll never know the impact you’ve had on my life.
All my love to your wife, daughter and grandson.
Wonderful!

_Ed, when technology was less ‘perfect,’ didn’t we all wonder more deeply? Tnx for the good ‘circular memories.’_M
This is excellent, Ed.
Moving, ingenious.
Nice one, Ed!

Excellent work, deeply thought out and involving, Craig.

Nice one, Ed!
And all of us who can recall a scene like this
are surely dating ourselves!
