Yeah. Bad on my part. The hiking trip was planned and booked last November. So long ago I lost track. . IJ without Mr. Alphabet, well dang. Second year in a row. He's lousy at keeping his schedule straight.

NOT the second year in a row; he also missed 2020 and 2021. FOUR years in a row.*
*I don't care that it wasn't held in 2020 or 2021; all the more reason to make it in 2022 and 2023.

Everybody write a song about one of Vinton's suburbs. Which reminds me, it's been almost two months since I was going to send you and Joy a melody.

Vinton has five suburbs, so somebody better start writing.

I am in occasional contact with Dennis O'Neil's sister Pam Rollins. It was from a post she made on Dennis's Facebook that we learned of his death. She wanted to come to Idiot Jam last year but couldn't arrange it. Today I got a message from her saying she and her sister are coming this year. Below is her message and my reply. It will be great to meet them.

All,
Last year I had invited Robert Brost of West Amana up to do the sound in my stead for Saturday Night. Anyone opposed to me asking him again?

When Robert does sound for us at ITAC and other events, we always give him some money. We appreciate what he does and we know that he sometimes does it without compensation. We’ve been suggesting that other bands to do that too. Robert is a selfless, generous man, as you know, but he spends a lot of money on equipment and a lot of time in setup and tweaking. Robert isn’t a musician, as far as I know, and has no reason to do this outside of generosity and his own enjoyment. I’m thinking we ought to compensate him in some way.
