Hey guys, I hope you all had a wonderful Spooky Season as we at IYHGYHE did! I have been working on a number of books including the 2027 Practical Distillers Almanac and have become quite taken with writing fairytales and poems expressing the Majik of this place where I live. I decided to narrate a few of these for you this evening. To be quite honest this is by far my most personal episode to date and I think represents the purist expression of my thoughts as of yet to be represented to the public.

We all have limits and boundaries to overcome in life and I think I may have found a way to overcome mine and bring the various disperate pieces together into a cohesive whole in coming years. I do hope you will enjoy them and please, please share them. They will all see some published form in the near future. Here you will hear a folk tale about a hidden fountain that produces ardent spirits with the help of a Clurichon. Folk Majik I leaned from my grandparents. A poem about a folk distiller on the edge of town. How the highway meets the sky in the Black Forest, and my personal favorite, Felix, the maybe friendly feral, feline, familiar!

A huge thank you to my friend Stephen Smith for inspiring me to pursue this path.
