Things you get in the mail…

Today I got a few nice things in the mail –

The first was my nice new Remo 14″ djembe which I ordered some weeks ago. It is all synthetic, which is a first for me as I’m a wood and skin player, but the synthetics are sharper in tone, faster in response, and a whole helluva lot more durable… I fiddled with it a bit as soon as I got it in the house and, well, wow. I’m really happy with thier work.

The second item is even cooler!

That’s one of the new 25th anniversary edititions of “The Last Unicorn”, signed -to me- by Peter S. Beagle himself…

“To Bill –
May you walk the world in many a gentle year –
Peter S. Beagle”

I’m literally without words…

He signed the slip cover and the DVD too, so now I dunno if I wanna put it in the DVD player or not to see what all they did during the restoration…

… Yeah, I’ll watch it. 🙂
