fans, friends, and frenemies:

"thanks for hooking up with me here at hookist for the holidays. putting together a lyric collaboratively online is something i would never have dreamed of back when i was writing god shuffled his feet.  when i have set the lyric to music (that's my part in all this), and when the grand prize winner is chosen, s/he will get a mention in the liner notes and visit the studio via skype  while we record it - so don't forget to send me a gift of some sort - perhaps an automobile, or a set of gold teeth.

this is gonna be a good time.  thanks for participating."

later folks,
