Hey Greg. You will probably have to register with CD Baby as you would with i-tunes or Amazon. Let me know if you are successful.

Yup, I registered at home. That's quite an e-mail they send to confirm your order (if you've never seen it, it's pretty funny).

Great. First two had me at hello, but then I'm partial.
All in, what I hear has some great influences but from what I can tell, at the end of the day... I hear Jeff.
Jeff's work, Jeff's talent, Jeff's heart. I shall be purchasing.

Jeff, "The Barrens" came in today's mail. I've been playing it all day. Very nice! On a different note, went fishing last week and caught the biggest Pick I've caught in a long time (at my secret hole). Good fishing, good music, life is good! Congrat's on a very enjoyable record.

Yes, it's 2:30AM, can't sleep. Jeff, the Pick was about 3-1/2 pounds. I released it (usually do). It was just great to be on cedar water in the spring. I wanted to swim, but the water was just a bit too cold (and my wimpy brother Tom wouldn't let me). I also caught one that was about 6" long. When I set the hook it was so small that it flew out of the water and over the boat. We almost tipped over we were laughing so hard. Tom and I certainly enjoy ourselves in the pines. Hope to see you on the water some day.

I got a copy of Jeff's CD the other day. I listened to it during my commute back and forth from Princeton today. It was REALLY good. Reminded me a lot of Steve Howe's solo guitar tracks with Yes.

The first 2 songs had me in the mellow zone. The 3rd made me jump out of my seat! Been listening ever since.

I envy you that you and your brother spend such quality time together. I miss fishing with my brother, I wished he lived closer. Although, last time we were fishing he almost took my eye out with a spinner....Anyway, that is a nice pickerel. It is funny because pickerel almost always seem to go by inches whereas bass go by pounds when discussing size, in my experience.

There is one pickerel that I know, huge, the stuff of legends. He is near a bridge in an alkward spot and I've never been able to land him. He snaps my line everytime. I have been meaning to go after him with a special rig but never have. There is a bit of preparation to fish this particular spot. That was over five years ago, I wonder if he is still there. I got him half way out once and I remember thinking he could be a record breaker. One thing I can tell you, he broke 8lbs test with no leverage like it was nothing.

thanks Ben,
It didn't occur to me before but I can see the comparison with Steve Howe's work.

I agree, Jeff. Back in '83, my buddy caught one that he was so proud of that was 24". For kicks I said, "let's weigh him" ...5lbs 2oz. While dredging Killdeer Lake in Medford that same year, we, unfortunately, found one floating by the boom one morning that was 25", without the tail. A real monster! We've always registered pic by length.

Jeff, Tom and I certainly enjoy our time together on the trails and streams of the pines. I also know of an ancient Pickerel that I've seen but have not been able to catch. It looked huge. Also, my friend Ed (who I won't fish with anymore!) hooked me with a red devil spoon. Tom and I bust each other, but at least he doesn't try to hook me. :)

Beautiful, enchanting songs, Jeff! My favorite is Jack's Song (how'd you guess?), followed by the Owl & Moon, but in another genre altogether, the classical pieces are brilliant. I admire your versatility! Had to get one for my son, too. Thanks so much for putting this together and making it available.
