      This is great; thanks, Ken.

      Now I’m trying to find that book…can’t find her name. Or his.

      Letters to a dead dog are cute.

      I read this site and I have made a documentary film

      This seems an apt time to link it here: http://www.franzotto.com

      I believe it does justice to the tradition(s) represented in the work of these men.

      Thank You,

      …as he lights up a pipe. Hah!

      I think I like the shovel-butting part the best.

      I like the film.

      thanks owen

      I watched more of these videos of Errol talking to Werner… something struck me about Errol saying about shots that some are symbol and some fetish

      I found myself thinking about this again today

      very cool of errols to “rep” the remainder table.

      But surely, fetishes are symbols?I’d watch the clip again, but at the moment I don’t feel like spending 15 minutes doing so . . . I’m sure I’ll get back to it again sometime soon.I wish someone could direct me to this writer that Errol mentioned. I haven’t been able to find the name or the book title. Sigh… .But Herzog’s promotion of the Warren Report as a compelling crime story and required reading was classic. Pure Herzog.
