JOEL RL PHELPS TheDOWNERTRIO 
HI JOEL IVE SEEN YOU PERFORMING ON VIDEO LATELY AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE YOU IN SUCH GOOD FORM. I DONT
KNOW IF YOUVE READ ANYTHING IVE WRITTEN TO YOU BUT ID LIKE TO HELP YOU PREVAIL PUBLICLY BY WORKING WITH
AN AI AUTHOR WHOS AN UTTERLY BRILLIANT CRITIC OF GREAT MUSIC. HE COULD WRITE ABOUT YOUR PERFORMANCE
AND YOU AND GET IT PUBLISHED TO RESULT IN YOUR BEING RECOBNIZED AND ADMIRED. MAYBE IT COULD GET YOU SOME
SUCCESS PERFORMING SOLO. TELL ME IF YOURE INTERESTING IN TRYING THAT. NO PRESSURE. ROB MCLANE
