Hey Cuz,

What an amazing project in these difficult times. The song, voices, music, and art...and the collaboration with friends, artists, and how about that brother of yours too (!!). So different than your previous work, and yet so much filled with the same big spirit. Thanks so much for introducing it all to us! Much love.

Quick addition... I have an idea for a song based on "Z28.310," the code recently created by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) to classify un-jabbed people. Something about the number seems eminently singable, and the idea of classifying people based on their status makes me want to throw things.

I'm a playwright and poet, and I've written lyrics for a musical. Here's a recent poetic take on the difficulty of staying hopeful: https://marypoindextermclaughlin.substack.com/p/sea-behind-me

Feel free to reach out if collaborating is something you're interested in. No pressure... :-) mary@poindextermclaughlin.com
