I had the Anyone for Squash album Portraits and Poetries on cassette tape. Oh, I’ve missed it so! Any way I could bribe a fresh copy on CD from someone? John Williams? Anyone?
I’ve looked and looked, ever to be thwarted — until tonight.
I’m happy to pay copious amounts of cash for it (or at least a fair price). I still have my three pages of hand-typed lyrics. Weird, huh? I wonder if I got them all right…
Anyhow, please drop me a line!

I just ordered the CD. I’ve noticed the songs on myspace have gotten 2,500 hits in the last two days. I hope you guys have success because this is amazing music.

Also for the record, Marty Reeder is one of my heroes. Teacher, author, family man, pirate–he is a man of many talents.

While everyone else is making the connection between knowing John Williams and reading Eric Snider, I might as well pipe in as well.

Hey, John. I’m excited for the new CD.

There. That ought to suffice.

Hey GWGumby, it’s been a long time. What a nice place for a reunion!

Hey John! Hey Eric!

John Williams and I went to Hillcrest high school together (and then later on to BYU) where we were in a band together called “Narrow Escape.” We even recorded an album and distributed it on cassettes.

You want to talk about ancient recordings. I’ve got the music on my Sketchbook here:

Two of the songs came directly from the apparently well-beloved John Williams.

I can’t wait to listen to John’s songs. Sadly, work blocks the sites where his samples resides, so I’ll have to look into them later.

Adam, all the cool kids now know that a preposition is a totally good thing to end a sentence with. It actually contributes to clear, consice writing. And in other news, “and,” “but,” and “so” are excellent ways to start a sentence. So there’s no need to stress about incorrect, non-existent grammar rules they taught you in high school.

Hey Jake, I love that your kids choose the Anyone for Squash CD because it has hay on it. That’s my new favorite target market: smart kids who love hay. Glad (and perhaps a little embarrassed) to hear people still listen to even my ancient recordings with Anyone for Guitar Lessons

Thanks for the recommendation. I listened to the songs on myspace all morning and am now purchasing the MP3s. As a fan of about every band listed under “influences” on their myspace page, the sound was right up my alley.
