I am sitting in the baggage claim of STL for an hour or two waiting to get picked up, and it’s very quiet… This was like having one other person sitting here with me. Thank you! :) wish there were cactus candy here though

I actually just had cactus candy for the first time this past US tour in the desert. I think the stuff from the book was more like a homemade thing made in Mexico from the prickly pear fruit versus the brand Cactus Candy you get in stores now. But I liked it a lot.

Thanks for the warm vibes. It's just begun to snow here.

I wish there were (more? do any exist?) audiobooks that were full of outtakes. like the literary version of a DVD commentary.

ADAM GNADE'S "TALKING SONGS"'s avatar

I would listen to that. Maybe you should do one. I know somebody who would release it.

Literally in the middle of emailing you right now.

I haven't listened back to it yet. Felt like a disaster

Naw, it was refreshing bc it was real and relatable

ADAM GNADE'S "TALKING SONGS"'s avatar

I'm glad. Thank you for giving it a chance.

Refreshing for sure. Thank you and goodnight.

ADAM GNADE'S "TALKING SONGS"'s avatar

I hope. I'm afraid to listen back to it in the unforgiving light of day

Feel that, but can confirm it was very apt for the vibes of the day. And yes, definitely could hear that whistling wind.

ADAM GNADE'S "TALKING SONGS"'s avatar

Before I lived here I thought whistling wind was just a thing from movies. A sound effect. It's most definitely not.

I wish recordings could really capture the intensity of the wind out here.

Living in Kansas you are exposed to some of the most relentless wind of all time. It wears you down.
