Hey thanks so much and I'm so glad you enjoyed the interview! David is a great person to talk to!

If there's a way to edit the post my last name does not have a 'p' in it. Just Thomson Smile

I found the time and….
Actually, two of our plum trees were FULLY ripe(!),
on Sunday(!..!);
we HAD to stop EVERYTHING we were doing(!.!.!!),
….and make…..Jam. : )

I was up ALL night.
Pitting. Cutting. Stirring. Stirring. Stiiiiiirrrrrrring.
(It was worth it.)

The Interview is 38 minutes long,..
that's a 'commitment'.
But(!),…it's an INTERVIEW(!).
I could stir and listen! : )

Actully, I listened to England beat the German Woman's Soccer team,
for the European Championships,…..first.
2-1. : (
I was in the mood,…for 'Magic'.

I liked the Interview.
Some phrases used:
"The dull roar…"
"..no replacment for spending time, with real people."

Some nice thoughts,…
"I put my Cups & Balls routine together,
from pieces I liked the most,
from other routines I've seen.
The trick was,
figuring out how to hook them together!"

I like the,..'consciousness', of what you do.
I thought, all in all,..
you're very conscious, of what you're doing.
…and quite conscious of yourself(!).
That's GREAT!

I REALLY(!…!!) loved it, as well;
when you mentioned:
„You don't always blow a whistle,
because you don't want to disrupt another's Show."
…you have my full respect.
(….the 'little violin girl' blew you away,…didn't she? )

Two things I would like to add,..
two of my thoughts.
You said: "Art is sö contingent on passing information on,..from Artist to Artist."
I really like this thought,..
and the respect you give those who lead you;
but I disagree.

I believe Art is sö contingent on those who support an Artist,
trying to develope themselves.
(You're parents were great!)

The prosess YOU speak of,
produces,..
a lot of,…
'common-inity',….i believe.
(i made that word up. )

Secondly: Jimmy Durante said: "Accentuate your 'flaws'.
You could REALLY have fun with your name!
Jeff 'no P' Thomson !
…i could imagine a lot of fun.

Anyways,..Thanks for taking the time!
You have a very sympathetic way.
I hope you manage to keep this.
It's a gift.

Gallagher thank you so much for your time listening to the interview. It was a pleasure speaking to David and I appreciate your thoughts on what I said. I try to bring a conscientiousness into my magic and I appreciate you picked up on that. Again, your words are too kind and they warm my heart (in this already warm southern california heat! haha). I agree with your disagreement, the development of the artist through patrons or other artists is essential. Our art is always one of improvement and learning Smile

Best,
Jeff
