Van Dyke Parks On The Driveway

And drives on the parkway. That's the kind of guy he is. I had email communication with the great man, briefly, back when. Someone had passed him a pastiche of his lyrics what I done wrote, convinced it was his work. VDP thought it might have been a forgotten lyric by him until I 'fessed up. Ain't I a rascal? I'd like to say we became great pen pals and still exchange Christmas cards, but I'm sure he forgot all about it instantly.

Anyway - here's a cute couple of peripheral albums of his I scooped out of an internet and can't remember anything about. What I'm asking of you, Dear Reader, is if you have his soundtrack score for Th' Two Jakes, I'd love to have a copy. I did myself, but lost it in the freak internet storm which swept my entire mp3 collection up into the Van Allen Belt. Goshdarnit.
