Thanks for coming by and posting everyone.

SD: I’m working on a full fledged post just for you on the topic of books.

Jonathan: I love your comment about supporting record companies vs. supporting artists. Good perspective. And I’d like you to chime in on the “short fiction” idea you mentioned when I write the book post fore mentioned.

Curt: I’m all about making us feel better when parting with cash. Glad the terminology helped.

Jennifer: You’re welcome. It was great to meet you, too. The Salt Shaker put on an amazing event I thought!

Eric: I’m honored that you’d stop by. And as far as name association, I think it’s high time we have new masters step forward. May it not be the last, my friend.

Blessings!

christopher:
this is the first – and probably last – time my name has ever been uttered along with the likes of rembrandt and/or beethoven. i am grateful that you’ve gleaned the spirit of the overall concept, and are not only spreading the word, but investing in it yourself. thank you.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I couldn’t help but mention the tour. That day you guys stopped by The Salt Shaker to meet us was incredible. I hope you and every one else who came out to Washington get to come back.

I’ll go check out The Rabbit Room now.

Thanks for contributing to The Rabbit Room, Christopher, and for writing this piece about Eric’s project. I’m also a $50.00 contributor and wouldn’t have it any other way. From “Land of the Living,” the first Peters CD I bought, I have been a supporter. I hadn’t thought of the benefactor comparison, but that parallel somehow makes my involvement in projects like Eric’s feel even better.

Thanks, Christopher, for bringing more attention to EP’s project. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to give $50 that I knew was going to help Eric make the art he feels called to make. I’ve never been able to get excited about supporting record companies. But supporting artists? That’s easy to get excited about.

S.D. wondered about how all this translates to books and stories. I’ve been pondering that in my heart. I don’t yet know how to answer that question, but I have a feeling that short-form fiction will be an important part of whatever comes next in that regard.

Excellent words, brother. I felt the same way when I first heard about EP’s project.

I am curious how you think these newer models that many brothers in music are engaging in (like Derek Webb with Noisetrade, etc.) can transfer to considerations for authors like yourself (and me, I hope)? I see some transfer, but it’s not the same. Print isn’t ready to be transported as easily as music (I know that Kindle etc. may change that, but in my view, not yet, people want books, the artifact).

Anyway, keep up the great work.
