@Derrick_NYC Hey Derrick - I'm somehow only seeing this reply to my tweet last March. Which led me to the Daily News story about you. I work for a public radio show / podcast and wonder if I could chat with you about your tweets. Can you drop me a line? sean (at) thislife (dot) org

@RonSexsmith That jacket makes a beautiful music all its own. (Also, thank you for the incredible show in NYC last week. I cried during "Secret Heart.")

Sigh. I thought I was being so clever and original when I texted this sentence to a bunch of friends earlier. Then I made the mistake of searching it on here. Anyway, Happy Mardi Gras, everybloody. (Especially you @BrendanLorber)

Another good one

@jkre1244 @ThatEricAlper I've never even heard the Brinsley Schwarz version of "What's So Funny..." Think I've only heard Nick Lowe sing it solo. But yes that Dave Edmunds version of "Girls Talk" is so so SO much better

@ThatEricAlper The Band's cover of "Don't Do It." Specifically the live version that begins "The Last Waltz"

@iSmashFizzle My parents had me kind of late. But they also lived a long time. My dad started seriously declining when I was about 42. My mom was in relatively good health/spirits right up until she died suddenly when I was 43. (She was 81. My dad lived to be 90.)
