A double shot of Sentimental Fool!

I love the mood of this track somber yet hopeful, balancing somewhere between classic country sorrow and early rockabilly charm.

I really like the demo as well, rougher around the edges, but full of heart.

I'm Doc (Star-) Dust, snake oil vendor and quack, former stardust nebula, a fool's gold tinsel version of Bildad the Shuhite.

I also do minor body surgery. Resurrection by appointment only.

I'm engaged (sort of) to Sheeny (@i-dream-of-sheeny), a genie in a bottle (long story). But in fact it is a foursome, because @angelo-chuck-wagon (my apprentice) and @william-the-ladyfinger (my compagnon) are also my lovers. Together we run the @snakeoil-pharmstore.

Trek fans.

Like I don’t know this for sure, but I feel like the fact that half the voice cast was made of Trek alumni brought in the veteran nerds who knew how to organize. How many of us younger fans benefited because the people who cut their teeth publishing Kirk/Spook zines decided to put their weight and experience behind this little cartoon we all loved?

I’m sure the fact that Disney putting out reruns right as we were entering into the golden age of fan sites had a lot to do with it too. But the older, more experienced nerds absolutely carved out that space for the rest of us to play in. It meant that my first real experience with fandom was something beautiful and collaborative.
