thanks

happy thanksgiving to you all!  (in canada, we are thankful a whole month before the americans, the results of which are murky but we do tend to have nice weather for our turkey dinners.)  thanks in particular to everyone who diligently voted for lucklucky and the echo prize, which ended up going to my friends and excellent songsmiths, those upstanding fellows in the weakerthans.  and  thanks to them, because they have very kindly cut me in for some of the prize money.  so i have the multiple happinesses of being voted for by friends, fans, and fine musicians.  does it get better?
