Yesterday was blurry with riches. Out of the blue I received an email from musician Mark Comstock who asked if he could send me a copy of a song he wrote and recorded for the Martinez Beavers. He’s a friend of the Hopeful Romantics who played at the festival this year. Of course, I said “yes” but I honestly had no idea how delightful it would be. I’m going to work on a video with this soundtrack this afternoon so hopefully it will get the attention it deserves. If you can’t wait you can click here
Ballad of the Martinez Beaver or on the photo for a listen.

To top it off, I’m told Disney artist D.W. Murray just completed this illustration of the world-saving dam built by “Slapper and Patty” to protect against the rapid rise of waters from global warming in Jo Marshall’s latest Twig Stories. Jo has already promised us some copies for next years beaver festival, so we’re eager to learn if the wonder-dam was up to the task.

Obviously Slapper and Patty are needed at the moment in drought-burdened Texas to help with the horrific fires which are by far the worst in the state’s history. Go tell the governor that apparently it makes no difference if Texas doesn’t pay attention to climate change, because climate change is still paying attention to YOU.
