Henry,

This looks exciting.  I have recently started a humor studies blog with
several other humor scholars.  The blog is a place to inform humor scholars
about what is going on in the field--and this CD would be great.

Would someone involved be interested in writing a post on the CD?  Nothing
elaborate, but it might be a good promotion space.  Maybe posting a preview
track?

Let me know if you are interested.  Best,

Tracy
