Hey there, hi there, how there. Your friendly neighborhood webmeister,
just crawling out of the flu to announce that we have three new essays
up: "About Indie Artists Harassing DJ's", "Don't Be Afraid To Rock The Boat",
and "Good And Bad Sides To Indie Awards". Figured with the lousy month this has been,
you need SOMETHING to chuckle over! Pass the chicken soup...

July 7, 2003...
Hi, all. Hope you had a safe and relatively sane 4th of July weekend.
Two new essays have been added: "How We Got Together" (no explanation needed), and
"Selling America," a sad-but-all-too-damned-true observation by Jack, with additional
cartoon comment from D. C. Simpson's always brilliant "Ozy and Millie" online strip
(the 4th Ozy and Millie book, "Authentic Banana Dye," is now available from Plan 9
Publishing. Details on the O&M site.)
July 4, 2003...
Happy Birthday, America. For the 227th 4th of July in this country, we
have three new essays from Jack: "Moose Tracks On My Back," "The Chili and Pie Diet," and
the true story of Jack and Misty's first single...and their new single, "Bethlehem Steel -
The Story Behind The Song." Check the essays section. Me, I've been up since 5 am today and
I'm dog tired. I'm gonna try and take a nap. Wish me luck.
- A very tired webmaster.
July 2, 2003...
Two more essays have been added to the Jack's Essays section:
"A Do It Yourself Spam Filter That Works" and "Don't Get Me Started About Life."

Hey there, hi there, ho there.
Apologies for the lack of updates lately. Too many things have been getting
in the way (translation: "real life.") However, in order to appease you until
we can get everything uploaded, please enjoy this new essay by Jack,
"A Tale Of Two Nitwits":
A TALE OF TWO NITWITS.
It was the best of times,
and then some crap happened.
Everybody loved Father FitzMother, the old Irish priest.
When his high voice sang out “Top o’ the mornin to ya”
it would put a smile on a constipated leprechaun.
Then one day folks noticed
he said it when nobody was around.
He said it to squirrels.
He said it to doorknobs.
A brutal killer admitted his crimes in the confessional,
and the aged priest gave him a “Top o’ the mornin’ to ya”.
The criminal flew into a rage
and the good father was rushed to the ER
with a clay pipe lodged in his lower intestine.
They gave him a strong anesthetic,
not for pain,
but to shut him up.
It was like having a crazy parrot.
No longer able to fulfill his priestly duties,
he turned to crime
He would toss his manic “Top o’ the mornin’ to ya”
at strangers on the street.
They would smile back while he picked their pockets.
He was arrested and sent to the nut camp,
where he was diagnosed
as having a rare and stupid form of Tourette’s Syndrome.
He was released as “harmless, but annoying”.
He was homeless for a while,
but the other homeless people would leap into dumpsters
when he approached.
Harriet Freehorn was a seventy-nine year old widow,
and a former parishioner of Father F..
She was also deaf as a yak in heat...
a deaf yak.
Harriet thought her ex priest was just being affectionate
when he was picking her pockets.
She couldn’t hear what he was saying.
To make a long story dumber,
they moved in together,
her hearing was miraculously restored,
and the first words she heard were these:
“Top o’ the mornin’ to ya”.
She thought it was cute
for about twenty minutes,
and then she beat him to death with a stuffed owl.
As he was dying,
he opened his eyes,
and with his last breath,
whispered “Oh, crap”.
(C)June 27, 2003.
More updates to come.
-Your harried webmaestros.
Hi.
Thank you SO MUCH
for the many wonderful birthday cards and notes,
and the thought behind them!
Love to you all.

Chirp Chirp! Four new essays and a new song have been added since we've last been here.
The new song is "Steel Mill Town," which you can find in the lyrics page,
and the four new essays, "Johnny And June," "Dumpster Diving," "Our Old Friend Tommy"
and "Mind Prisons" can now be found in Jack's Essays.
A FOUR-DAY HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
Not only is next Monday Memorial Day,
an important and historical date,
but so is this Friday, May 23rd.
It’s Misty Morgan’s Birthday,
and I think schools and government offices
should be closed.
I also expect the weather to be clear,
and Burger King to have ninety-nine cent Whoppers.
I never know what to get her.
She always gets me nice things.
This year she gave me a cool watch.
I’ll be worrying about it right up until the last minute,
when I’ll buy something.
I’ll also buy a fancy Birthday Bag to put it in,
because I when I try to wrap gifts
they look like they’ve been stomped on.
She will love it,
and we’ll have a middling good time.
The next day she’ll return it
for something that makes sense.
Anyway,
it’s a big day to me.
Happy Birthday, Honey.
All my love,
Jack

The First Jack & Misty Quarterly Newsletter
"All the news that chirps!"
OUR PROJECT FOR COLLEGE RADIO, AND CURRENT SINGLES.
Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan
Spring, 2003
OUR ALBUM FOR COLLEGE RADIO.
We're a couple of months behind schedule
on our CD album for college radio.
The album title will be "Another Place and Time".
We are creating the tracks,
which are all original songs,
and the final mixes for college radio will be mixed in California.
The album is turning out to be strangely artistic,
mostly not suitable for our Country audience.
"Somewhere in Virginia in the Rain" will be on the songlist twice,
first in its original form,
and as an extra at the very end
a weird remix produced by Andy Wombwell, of Rhino Records.
Andy is behind the whole project,
and has some far out ideas.
The "Virginia" remix is so dreamlike that we're still trying to figure
it out!
Andy calls it "Alternative".
Alternative to what, we don't know,
but we like it.
The opener is an unusual song called "The House".
Among the 17 tracks there will be a few rare old tracks remastered,
a couple of demos that have never been heard anywhere,
a Christmas story recitation,
and closing with a beautiful, but obscure song: "Journey's End".
The surface noise will be left on this one.
We have three more songs to record.
It's an exciting concept,
and a new field for us.
OUR CURRENT SINGLES.
Our single on Mickey Newbury's "Sweet Memories"
is still getting good airplay,
and at the same time our new single "Safe Harbor"
is on its way to stations.
A couple of DJ's are already playing it.
All of our Country singles nowadays are on Stardust Records of Nashville.
We have a new Jazz single on the Canadian label "RotoNoto Records".
It's an instrumental we wrote called "Perry Mason Rides Again".
We play all the parts on our keyboards,
with the addition of rhythm and lead guitars
added by Randall Cousins, at RotoNoto, in Toronto.
We did all the basic tracks,
then sent it to Canada for the guitar parts,
and back to us in Florida for the final mix.
We plan to have "Click & Listen" links to all these recordings
posted here soon.
Most of out airplay is overseas now.
We still get some play in the USA and Canada,
but a LOT in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
Hopefully, the college album will help bring our music back home.
To be continued...

Hey there, hi there, chirp chirp. Associate weblackey Lee here, finally getting over
a bout with bronchitis and bronchial pneumonia (remember them? The Doublemint
Twins? Suuuurrrrrrrrrre we do... :P).
Got some new columns in the Essays section, plus the lyrics to one of the songs on
Jack and Misty's Rhino college project CD. The song is called "The House," and you
can find it in the lyrics section. And a belated Happy Birthday to Jack (May 7th).
May 1, 2003...
Hi, gang. A very sick webmaster here attempting to get over the flu and update the
site at the same time (it ain't easy, I can tell you!)
There are some new essays added in the April and May section, and the link to
"Masters of the Keyboard" is working in the "Albums At A Glance" section (scroll
down for the link).
Also, in that same section you can now access all the lyrics to the "Back In Harmony"
Cd.
April 18, 2003...
Another new essay by Jack, "Everybody Loves A Clone" in the Essays section (where else?)
In other news, Jack and Misty have a new cd coming out soon on Stardust, "Safe Harbor,"
and are also featured in a new RotoMusic compilation with their remixed version of the
Perry Mason theme. I'm taking the weekend off now, as I need to. Thanks, and chirp chirp!
April 16, 2003...
Okay gang - everything seems to be in place, and to celebrate - get ready...
20 NEW ESSAYS BY JACK!!!
You'll find them in the April section of Jack's Essays. Enjoy!
April 15, 2003...
Hi, gang. We're still in the process of fixing broken links, redirecting old departments,
and updating other things. (Moving is such a pain, ain't it?) And I don't care what
our fearless leader says...I hate Netscape. ;) Thanks for your patience.
April 14, 2003...
Hey there, hi there, etc. Well, the move is just about complete to our brand-new home
at Tripod, for which we thank them for the webspace. A few more links need to be
activated, but this shouldn't take too much longer. Thanks for your patience.
- The webguys at Birdwalk.
March 18, 2003...
Hey there, hi there, ho there and chirp! chirp! You may have thought we'd fallen off the
face of the earth, what with no new updates to the site in over a month. Not so. We've
just used up our allotted (is that the right spelling?) webspace, and are in the process
of trying to find a new webhome to move to. The requirements are tough. Basically, they
boil down to two qualifications: 1: Cheap, and 2: Inexpensive. Oh, and lots of webspace,
that too... We'll keep you informed as the search progresses. Any overdue essays from
Jack will be posted as soon as possible. - Lee (one of the two honyocks involved in
putting this site on the web).
February 18, 2003...
Well, hi there and a belated Valentine's Day from your frantic and harried webmeister.
And in honor of Valentine's Day, we're finally going to post them! Post what, you ask?
Why, the rest of the lyrics to Jack and Misty's BACK IN HARMONY CD, that's what!
Look for them this weekend. (Better late than never and all that rot.)
In the meantime, while we're off the subject, howzabout a hand for our other
webmaster, Lee? That's right, we're officially moving him up to "webmaster" status this
week because he's done such a good... no, make that GREAT!... job keeping the website
going. (Thanks, Lee. I couldn't have done it without you.)
Enjoy the rest of your internet, and check the lyrics page this weekend!
All the best,
Jerry.

Usually that person, is crazy.

Winning and gloating and rubbing their noses in it ...
