November 8, 1994

Dear Mr. Jenkins,

It is rare that I write such a letter as this, 
To praise who songwriter that cannot miss.
To praise a band beyond all bands,
To thank you gladly from 15 of their fans.

Seven Albums full of treasures,
Seven Albums beyond measure,
But you only re-released three of them?

I saw them live November Sixth,
At Maxwell's in a state of pithe,
They played their hearts out all night long, 
They answered every (almost) request for a song.

Enclosed is a check for thirteen dollars, 
Send me Tape of Only Linda,
I love the Family that Loudly hollers,
And I thank you gladly for the music you senda.
