I love this. Where can I buy your CD? I'll look into it. Hey, a few friends and I have started an online magazine (will have a print version once a year). The main editor is Ross Merriam. The magazine is called 'narwal' (that's Walrus backwards).

Do you think we could post your Youtube video here on our site, and maybe do a review or interview in the future?

I'll also pitch it to Ross and see what he thinks.

Let me know guys.

Can't wait to buy your CD.

Take care,

Trisha Cull

Thanks Trisha, we really appreciate that you took the time to listen. I'm curious about the magazine; first of all, how exactly is narwal Walrus backwards? (wouldn't it be surlaw?) and second what is the url?

Yeah, I thought of that afterwards...Narwal is meant to be a play on 'Walrus,' phonetically if nothing else. I keep telling people it's Walrus backwards.

I will email Ross (who just recently set up the website...we're in the process of establishing content) and ask him to contact you directly. I have just started collaborating with him on this magazine. I don't think the url is live yet.

In any case, yeah, I love the un-embellished rendition of 'bottle of you,' loved the lyrics...simple and accessible but emotionally charged.

I will keep an eye on your blog here and listen in etc.

Hopefully Ross will be in touch soon, or I will.

Will you be playing in Victoria any time? Or Vancouver? I'd love to see you live.

Take care.

Well, technically we're no longer in western canada, although we're both from there and miss it a lot. Thanks so much for your grand encouragement and when our nationwide tour opens, I'll make sure you and your crazy fake Walruses know all about it.

Hi Trisha,

Thanks for listening to our songs, looking forward to reading your magazine . . . when is it coming out?
