	I admit to similar suspicions about what we're actually getting 
here.

	I can see your point about escaping to festivals I guess; I've 
never really put that value on them, mainly because they cost so bloody 
much, even just in terms of travel and eating, that going to more than 
very few has been petty impossibe for most of my life. The Hawkfest I 
wouldn't be going to for entirely other reasons as well, so if they 
were to do that and not an album, I would be out of luck.

	Of course, ideally both, but that would need `power' management, 
which would cost money and artistic liberty, and all that.

>   P.S.  I have 'issues' I guess.  Acute homesickness for one.

	I tend to get fed up with places quicker than I can leave them, 
so in this respect I guess I am a different kind of lucky. Yours,
								  Jon
