That's the best one. I think they covered Bob Dylan soon after that.

You doing okay, Hen?

I am just fine my friend. The sun is shining and the music is flowing. I believe that sometimes we are on the same frequency.

Ka-tet. One from many.

King too? Too much—but I like it. I never read The Gunslinger because the woman who is now my wife gave me a copy when we first met and I was too bowled over by her to ever read it. (But read most of his others pre-Gunslinger and a lot after.) This is rather weird. (mind blown) I had never heard of that word K-T before today but am still reading.

Have you ever read On Writing? It is a must-read for any King fan.

I haven't.

Early King, when he was shooting up drugs was an oracle. The Gunslinger wrote itself on magic blue paper.

You should read it. He talks about writing with cotton up his nose so he wouldn't bleed on the keyboard. I think many of his fans have not read it but it is essential. It's short.
