Wanna Contact DAX, DFVD or Someone Else at This ol’ Popstand?
I suppose, now you expect me to provide you with a phone number, right?
Nope . . . not gonna happen - wouldn’t be prudent (as the elderberry President Bush used to say!)
I’ve been in business since 1962 - as of this writing, that’s over 46 1/2 years. Everything I know today, I learned the best way - via actual experience - not theory.
For the first twenty or so years, I would take each and every phone call that came in - from anyone in any part of the world. Bear in mind that we had full page advertisements running in virtually every major (and minor) publication available at the time (which resulted in my having one of the last century’s all-time best-sellers in the self-enrichment/money-making genre - ten million copies worldwide of ‘’How To Make $100,000.00 in 90+ Days!'’
Well, at the end of one of those very hectic days, after managing to do little else but chit-chat with dozens of Joe Blows about why they thought I should convince them to part with a measly ten bux for the book (that’s all it cost a quarter of a century ago - today, that little gem is $25.00 with s/h!) - I decided I was tired of the frenzy and henceforth, literally, never took another phone call from anybody - to this very day!
No one except my daughter, a couple very close friends and my current (and hopefully, final) wife have my phone number. Further, if I phone someone (who does accept calls) and hear an answering machine, I refuse to leave a message: I will not sit around as a hostage, awaiting someone else’s call whenever they get around to it!
As for email addresses: The real problem with email is, as you know, the numerous n’er-do-wells who have nothing better to do than send copious numbers of vacuous messages (flaming) which ties up the equipment and wastes the time of good people devoting time to helping other good people. Or the idiots who repeatedly send emails promising larger penises and smaller mortgage payments (or is it the other way around?!)
However, since I have it on good authority that YOU are not one of those nincompoops but instead are a trustworthy, upright citizen of the world dedicated only to improving the good of mankind in general, and of DAX in particular . . . herewith is an email addess where you can write me or anyone else living or dead whom you find on THE PLAYERS page:
HOWEVER . . . if you’re bent on impressing ME, do something that hardly anybody in this fast-paced, computerized, I-Podding, text-messaging era ever thinks of doing any more:
Sit down in a quiet, comfortable spot in your crib (Ha!) - and write out your message of praise, pitty or PEZ (!) by hand, typewriter or computer - your choice.
Stick a stamp on an envelope, postcard or whatever - and drop it in the mail. I won’t get it personally for awhile - but in time, I will - after it’s been scrutinized, sanitized and security-ized. And then . . . I’ll either get back to you with a comment, a thank-you-very-much, a few words of inspiration or a ‘’Well, the same to YOU, Buck-o!'’
Oh, and I gladly accept CASH, too!
