Between bites of albino Velveeta heartbun tamales I pointed out to him that he&#8217;s become more than an editor to Books of Blues. He&#8217;s become part of the story.

When I started playing around with Social Media tools, I used Picasso&#8217;s Old Guitarist as my gravatar &#8211; a filler till I decided whether or not I liked these tools.
