Thing, because unless you live in specific border regions of the US. It's sometimes very hard to get outside of the US. Just physically, like, it's very large distances. So I think we might have to do a little bit more imaginary travel than maybe if I lived someplace that was close or to a bunch of other countries

And I had nonprofit, and people wrote songs about books, and it helped adult readers who were learning to read connect to the books through songs. But one of the things we focused on is food inspired by literature and kind of digging into scenes and books where you could talk about what they're eating and maybe eat some of it. And I went to a book club once. I think it was God of Small Things

Well, I listened to your message and then walked right over to my CD shelf and pulled out songs inspired by literature. Chapter one, artists for Literacy. And that I flipped into the liner notes and there you are. It's you. That's amazing. I love that CD

And what I ran into is there's a I'm in one of the early chapters still, and Calpernia as kind of a special treat for Scout on her first day of school because Calpernia has extra time, makes cracklin bread, and that's Scout's favorite food, and she's very excited about it. And since I haven't read the book in a long time, this is the first time that I've read it when I've had a smartphone where I could look something up very easily

Wait. Romy, it's such a pleasure to know that there's another human being in the world that has that CD. It was such a special time in my life. I did three of them. Chapter one, two and three. And it it took every every ounce of my blood to keep that nonprofit going for clearly ten years that were worth it. I'm so happy you have that. It's such an amazing co incidents. Anyway. Yeah
