Hello there!

"All Aboard" by The Del McCoury Band has become a bit of a personal anthem of late.

And the train keeps rolling

And the world keeps turning

All aboard, all aboard

Everybody′s gotta get on board

My summer has been full of bad screen. After getting laid off, I started my own social media consulting business. I took on too much, and I paid the price of working far too much while simultaneously not doing my best work. Hubris, you dog! Hello again.

Enough about that. Onto the zine.

Issue #7 is almost ready to print. We will announce it next week on Tuesday or Wednesday. That’ll be the next time you hear from me here.

• Last chance to tell me your mailing address changed. No need to tell me again, if you already did.

• This is also a good time to remind me if you’re missing #5 or #6!

• conductor@trainsongz.net is the best email for either of these issues, but you can also reply here.

After we announce the issue next week, we’ll mail it out the week or two after. With all of this in mind, I hope your envelope hits your mailbox in mid-September.

As always, thank you for your financial support that makes this project possible. We pay all artists. We can afford printing. I can afford all the help I need to delegate work and keep my work-zine-life balance in check. I’m very grateful for that, and I hope we earn your support for many issues into the future.

Talk soon.
