Okay Classic...here's your chance. You said you would poke some fun with the next Dennis letter. Here it is.
Hey Everybody,
To be honest I'm not sure where to begin. So many exciting and literally unbelievable things have occurred over the last few weeks that I'm nearly speechless (remember I did say nearly).
First, THE CHICAGO WHITE SOX WIN THE WORLD SERIES! That's right SEIRES DLROW EHT NIW XOS ETIHW OGACIHC EHT, backwards. forwards anyway you like it it's still true.
My dad took me to my first Sox game when I was nine years old and to this day I still recall the moment we emerged from the dark concourse stairs leading us up to the field and into a magical world of emerald green and blinding sunlight. One hand in my dad's the other in my glove, with the dream of catching a foul ball, I stood at the crossroads of innocence and hope. Oh the sights of the uniforms, the scoreboard, the upper deck and the enormity of the park itself. The sounds of "peanuts, get your peanuts," "hey ump get's some glasses," the organ playing "Take me Out To The Ballgame" and of course the crack of the bat. The smells of fresh grass and hot dogs mingling perfectly with the aroma of beer and cigars.
A day to remember, a day forever etched in my mind.
WHITE SOX WORLD CHAMPS, long time coming, worth the wait. I only wish my dad were here to have seen it.
I've written a Christmas song entitled "When I Hear A Christmas Song. I played it for Suzanne and my family and they agreed I should definitely do something with it. So I sent it to some of my friends in radio and to John Virant the president of Rounder Records, the distributor of my live album. Everybody loved it. So Rounder will be releasing it to radio for play during the holiday season. It will be avilable through I Tunes in the next week or so. The song is an old fashioned traditional kind of tune, one that I hope will bring everyone a warm and loving feeling for the holidays.
