The Mong Makes Another Movie - Please Help The Mong Stay Active

Hello, friends. I am going to be in major pre-production and/or actual production for my new movie, BEING MICHAEL MADSEN, in both mid-August and early-to-mid-September. This means that I will be missing all meetings until at least October.

You'd be surprised how much this annoys me because, the sad truth is, our Music Group is one of the few "social engagements" I look forward to each month. "To much work and not enough play"...blah, blah, blah. Anyway...

I'm pretty sure that I am not contributing any CDs or topics for at least a few meetings so believe I won't muck up the works in this regard. But if this is not the case, I request that Jay or Ken fill in for me, since, as I doubt anyone would argue, my taste tends to lean towards theirs.

But even though I can't be there for the next few meetings, I want to keep my "membership" active. So, here's my suggestion: to keep the relevant contributing (number ratings) averages consistent, I promise to find the time to "grade" all music selections with an associative one-word "review," which will be a challenge (keeping it one word) and potentially amusing for all, too. I will post these one-word reviews and the respective 1-5 star(s) for each CD at the Blog so that Ken can keep score. I can't promise I'll be able to contribute to any topics but as Bart Simpson says, "I can't promise to try, but I'll try to try." Oh yeah, I may post this stuff at any time, not necessarily at or around the meeting date. Cool?

So, if this is all cool, I guess the favor I'm asking is: Will someone or combinations of those providing CDs send them to me in the mail? If so, my address is:

Michael Mongillo
179 Finch Ave.
Meriden, CT 06451 USA

Thanks!
