I look forward to seeing what you concoct from Father Lucifer…’He wiped a tear then he threw away our appleseed’ is one of my favorite lines, as well as ‘Boy, You are my 5th Avenue’ from Amsterdam;) Such an exciting venture you’re doing, Elizabeth! xo

Thank you! I probably have enough material for 2 or 3 books so the challenge is whittling it down. I love hearing about people’s relationships with the album, I love hearing “it is my favorite”: there is so often a very personal, close way Pele is in people’s life & even sense of self. Even non-EWFs!

Thanks for the update! I have been avidly awaiting this book as Pele is my hands-down favorite album ever. Though it could be daunting, I’m glad you found a lot of joy in writing it – as Pele can launch the listener/writer a million different ways!

Were you from Jackson Ohio and went by the name Libby?

Yes! That line is a very important one.

Please don’t forget the line “can’t forget the things you never said.” my favorite line of the entire album. I love Pele!

Sally, thank you, and I KNOW!!–my own handwriting is very messy as well but I am just keeping my fingers crossed for the typing phase. Usually I can make it out, and if I can’t figure a word out from context perhaps that’s a hint I could probably edit it

I can’t imagine writing with ink and brush. My handwriting is so bad that I sometimes can’t read my own pencil-drafted prose. More power to you and looking forward to seeing the results.
