Good evening everyone, especially Marcus and Mora Amaro La Loba.

I tried to send you a private message so there was more of a chance of you seeing this,
something I first posted in a thread here that I began, thinking you might not see it.
But a pop-up said you weren't receiving private messages, so here I am.
And here this is.

Marcus, and Mora Amaro La Loba! Good evening!

I'm sure you know that I have enjoyed many of your poetic videos, here, and at YouTube.
This poor video of me playing along with one of your videos is still the only time I've done this.
As you can see here, this thread was supposed to be about me jamming along with videos,
but that hasn't happened yet, even if I'm disappointing Eduardo (alcaponedudu) from Brazil.

Here is another inspired offering, for you and for myself, something I would like to do.

I was fortunate to be able to purchase for very little money, free, if you think in terms of the total purchase,
this deck of playing cards made in Spain in 1968, looking brand new.
As soon as I saw them I began to imagine the different ways you could use them in a video,
but that's just me and my imagination and limited ability to create visual art the way you do.
I think of your videos with falling and drifting leaves, thinking these cards could be the same.

The first photo shows the high quality case, closed, and the second shows it open with the map.
I scanned some cards to give you a better view of the style of artwork,
with the description of why they were manufactured.
I would have had to play with the scanner settings and experiment to capture their true beauty,
so I didn't do that, just using instant scan.

I would like to mail this to you so you might be able to use them,
as long as you and Mora don't play a high stakes winner take all game with them,
that interferes with your musical and artistic relationship, and blame me.

Normally, I would just ask if I could have your mailing address, for a total surprise,
but my Auld Lang Syne budget for investing in new aspects of my life is also a new beginning,
so I can't afford to mail these only to find out you don't have any use for them.
Even if they are a collectible in your country, almost antiques, over fifty years old,
and you use them for a gift or sell for profit, that's good.

I don't use the interior messaging here very often,
but I'll leave you a private message so you are aware of this reply,
expecting your desire for privacy to lead you to share your address there,
if you want to.

I included the photo of the chromatic harp to show you this is almost ordinary for me.
An online friend who I have never met in real life, who moved from our home city to British Columbia,
included this harmonica in a package of presents for his relatives,
and visiting some of his family to pick it up as a holiday visit was a big part of it.
If you understood Auld Lang Syne, more than just being New Years,
you would not only understand, you would help me with this new desire of mine.
Via con Dios.
