I wasn't ready to crash after walking ...Hi Jim,<br />I wasn't ready to crash after walking Chase late tonight, so I Googled around & realized I'd exhausted my usual sites earlier. So I thought I'd revisit the Jim Phelan site & take another look. Once again, there was the nice intro to the Phelan piece, with the mention of you. I skimmed the piece once more, & then took a further look around for something else to read - YIKES! - I found the whole Jim Christy story, well written & researched!!! It's a project I've known someone should do sooner than later, but felt that it would take too much time & effort to do myself, esp. as I know how private a person you are (but with the contradiction that you love to tell all those great stories - most of which I've heard in person, but what a treat that someone has taken the time to WRITE THEM DOWN online & preserve your history for posterity).<br /><br />Mucho congrats! And the blogger/writer is rather a modest dog himself, with no immediately obvious authorship of this extensive bio (just part 1 so far), or of the blog itself.<br /><br />Of course I'd love to repost this on Riffs & Ripps, & I'll have to send the modest biographer a thank you email for assuming such an important literary project.<br /><br />FUCKING AMAZING STORY! ... even tho I knew the half of it ; )<br /><br />p&p!<br />Chris & Chase Wrfffffffffffzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (now I think Chase wants me to read it out loud to him - maybe tomorrow)<br /><br />zenriver@sympatico.ca<br /><br /> http://www.cynicalreflections.net/2014/10/a-philosophy-of-trampingjim-christy.html Chris Faiers/crickethttp://riffsandripplesfromzenrivergardens.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
