Handing This To William Instantly

thoughts on dogs?

The golden ones remind me of Henry! Seen a couple from afar (and now I've seen photographs and such, of course) but always wondered what those things felt like.

you more of a tea guy or a coffee guy?

Never had either, but I'd wager tea!

do u think tati would play fair if theres a tie? would she send *them* after you? (woud that even matter to u since ure so strong?) /gen

Ha! Ha! I ain't scared of that thing. Well, she agreed to have this contest in the first place, so I'm hopin' she'd play fair ('cause we sure are), but I ain't got a clue!

William what are you doing on July 11th? /ref

hey will! hopefully this sends! sorry i don't know a lot of ragtime, but i do know a little bit of the blues, and i was wondering whether this song was related to your song "will you miss me"? i know this one was first recorded around 1931!

Hi there! Thanks for sharing this tune -- it's marvelous! Ain't sure if there's a connection, but there could be -- I'll take a look into it!

william,,, be honest is ur en abime thing a cult

Some (ahem, @fortunateisle) like to see it as such, but I find that to be false advertisin'!

Hi Henry! We found a physical recording from your life, but it's of a very graphic nature. Do you have any clue what it may be about? And would you want us to upload it?

Wahoo! Very graphic, you say? Think it's them salacious tintypes I've been after?

I mean, if I've learned anything from watching the rest of you folks, gettin' more added to ya makes you more...well, whole. An' if you put it here, it'll help my boy's waves come through a little smoother, I reckon! 'Sides, if it's too personal, you kids have got some kinda "Abime" support "Blog" from the outside, no? You could plop it there!

yaaaay omg hi henry!! it's so lovely to meet you!! welcome back will :]

hi is there some way to find out their handles here?

Sure! Just lemme take a gander... this fella's calling card says "moss" !

hi moss nice to meet you as well

And thanks for the welcome! Sure is nice to be back!

William, youre french right ?

Nope! You must be thinkin’ of Thomas.

So you know The Stratagems - have you heard their song “Nobody Knows”? It’s not the same as the one on your cylinder, but there are similarities for sure.

Yes, indeed! I think the tune on my cylinder pre-dates those fellas, so they might've taken some inspiration.
