Ryan, I look forward to you writing a song about Foster Kamer. Can you make that happen?

For the record, he already wrote an entire album about me:

Man, I hope you keep this job for a long time - you are great at it.  I look forward to these ?columns ?writings, I don’t want to say “posts” as that is what I read over @ foggy.  Anyway, not about me, Keep up the great work.

Yay! What a wonderful addition to Blackbook! and this is my OMFG! for not only this week but one I’ve looked forward to for a while now.  I can’t wait for my signed copy of Infinity Blues, but I also look forward to other writings from my favorite musician/writer.  (Yay! may sound lame, but it’s truly how I feel)

Ryan, I am so grateful for your willingness to share your Heart with us, your joys, your heartaches and your passions. I read Foggy and the Cardinology blog and at 53 years of age you have lit a fire under me to go ahead with some things and finish some things that I for years I have buried. You may not think that you can hear God’s voice but you do. You just don’t know it........yet. Much peace and joy to you, now and always.

What a great new addition to Blackbook’s staff.  Ryan’s writings always leave me thinking:  yes, scratching my head sometimes, but thinking nonetheless.  Keep up the good writing, Ryan (you are beginning to get slightly more “on point,” btw).

I love what you say about your “Papo.” That is wonderful and beautiful that you get visitations from him in your dreams, because I truly believe that is what they are.  Looking so forward to reading your book.

Ryan I am looking forward to reading your work, I love your songs and the new book. I know this job will be wonderful for you. Your work has such an influence on someone who has a dream to get there work out there like me. I enjoyed this first article and look forward to reading more. Good luck with everything!

Will writing for BlackBook reduce your music output to, say, normal human levels?
