Lit agent likes it a lot. <BR/><BR/>As for Dan...until he died I never realized I thought the entire band was simply immortal. I never once pondered a scenario where I would mourn any of them. <BR/>The cool thing is that there is no "Shemp" in this band. Danny and Garry are undoubtedly the most unrecognized of the lot and yet people mourn Dan's loss like it was their brother. Such is the universal and total appeal of this band.<BR/>Thanks for the book compliment...call me sometime because I would really like to discuss it at length. The editor wants additional material and I need some other war veterans to tell their tales.Craig Daliessiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622536691388864746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4802192063076155160.post-23407153330843407602008-04-20T22:35:00.000-05:002008-04-20T22:35:00.000-05:00Great post...geez, I can't get out two coherent wo...Great post...geez, I can't get out two coherent words about this. I haven't talked to one person about it..."it"..."this"...I can't even say the real words. I posted a couple of equally pathetic comments on another friend's blog (Pleasant Valley Sunday) but that's as far as I can get. You're damn good writer, by the way...and I liked your book...keep it up.jtfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759316632096664665noreply@blogger.com
