    If you want and deserve more, this is the package for you. Imagine it: I will sign your CD, add two of my favorite Chinese snack foods to your order and give you a tour poster featuring the album cover artwork.

    About the snacks: Do you like when sweet and salty meet? I will send you two "Kiss-burn" snacks. What is it? It is a meatless jerky made from gluten. That may not get you excited on its own...but the spices? Divine. Your mouth will delight with the perfect blend of sweet, salty and a hint of spicy. You are getting two because immediately after eating one you will think, "I can't wait to eat the other one later." 'Later' will be moments later when you think, "Oh hell, I want it now."

about

One day I received an audio file from my student Jenny. There was no accompanying text. I opened the file to hear her reading Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare. I responded back with an enthusiastic "Thank you!", but got no reply. I found the whole situation to be adorable. Receiving surprise poetry was delightful and I decided to keep Jenny's cute voice message as a memento. Later I added music to it and will surprise her with back by adding it to this album.
