Dear Louise,
I saw your performance at Queen’s on Wednesday (30 Apr 2014), which left me ultimately impressed. I would only like to thank you for that!
Kindest regards,

Mrs. Harris, loved the idea behind your last audio work i saw posted, done with bits of tons of radios. I often try to remember how far back my affection for radio started. I was eleven, coming back alone from the west indies, making a halt at the Miami airport with in my hands, money that the elders gave me for fun. Standing at the duty free, a red transistor radio for 30$ or something. That was what i wanted. Not candy, not a revolver, not a barbie, a radio. My summers were then going to be a lot better!
Anyways… i was really writing to you hoping to interest your creative spleen into the 60 Second Radio call for submissions. A project/contest around the theme of liberty. Hope you can, will, wish to…
Greetings from Montréal,
