Icon Dust in the eyes

If, as they say, some dust thrown in my eyes
will keep my talk from getting overwise.
I'm not the one for putting off the proof.
Let it be overwhelming, off a roof
and round a corner,blizzard snow for dust,
and blind me to a standstill if it must.

Robert Frost


If you look at the way that AFM is packaged, you know that it's a Baerwald fan's dream. It's case, the stamping, the booklet, the limited number and the autograph. it just oozes a warm homemade feeling, something personal(and you know at $20 no profit was intended). You can see these things before you purchase it, you may not know the story behind the songs or it's creation, but these things you can see. So knowing this, why buy a dozen? These copys would have been much better served being sought out by the people ambitious enough to look. Ebay is all about profit and convenience, the fan who deserves this, is the one who searches the net and finds this site(and the goldmine therein). Collecting all the cd's, articles, and promotional items for an artist is not the measure of a fan, the manner in which you treasure them... is.

Like Scrooge on Christmas, it's never too late!

I think that everybody's efforts would be better applied by posting a message that inspires Mr. Baerwald to make music or go on tour or pump out another run of AFM.

I'll go first, David, like many before me "thank you for all your gifts". May i receive another one very soon. All right who's second!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year(bar none)!!
