for many of us, Mind Dusters was the 2nd album....I think your work subsequent, with each becoming more refined, was played on the stations I listened to in the NY tri-state areas and we who were active fans sought out Mind Dusters.........and have enjoyed it......and indeed, I have the album still.........but it would be wonderful to do a re-take, the more mature singer, the guy who has honed his craft from the days of Maggie's Farm or appearing on Carson so often, taking previous work and giving it his new interpretation....you've done it was Peaceful, off hand I'm thinking...Haven't we Met, and certainly with Round Midnight........

I am friendly with Eric Andersen's road manager, and thru her, have spent time with Eric, and I asked him about his wonderful Bout Changes and Things......as you might know, he followed it with Bout Changes and Things, Take 2, which was the electric version, and he was prompted to do that as his contemporaries were moving to folk rock, like Dylan of course, and Donovan, and even guys like Paxton and Ochs.
I own both of those works, on LP, and CD, and they both stand tall, and I'm sure a re-visit to Mind Dusters would knock our socks off.

So I add my voice to the previous poster, and to you and your staff's consideration of a similar project.

a healthy new year to you,
BSN
