Hiya, William! (i Happen To Also Be A William! Though I Usually Go By Will)

Think it worked. Thanks @fortunateisle!

Tati says there's some kinda magic method on here for me to Pin my posts, so no matter what new whatsits I'm posting, one post's always gotta stick to the top like glue. So I'll look about doing that, and put my little recording of my cylinder there.

I was never on the manufacturin' side of things myself but my guess is if ain't wax, it ain't workin'!

what the hell is cylinder restoration

Well, as far as I wager, it's a fella askin' for advice on restorin' his wax cylinder! A way to record and play tunes back in the day.

What's your favourite part of the human body

It ain't fit for printing, kid!

you seem like a very neat fellow, will. were glad to be your mutual :D

Thank you kindly!

I heard you will be heading out to see Henry!! I hope you have a nice time and stay safe!! :D

Wow! This is incredible -- thank you, pal! Hopefully he'll have a li'l' flower for me -- ain't that sweet. We ain't boyfriends quite yet, but I've got some designs on the fella...

Mentioned this to your pal, but I'll be waiting for your go-ahead in regards to all that safety! And while I'm gone, my things might stop workin' the way they usually do...so if there's anything you (or anyone you know) might wanna take one last look at, seize the chance!

would you (hypothetically) ever join heaven?

Which Heaven are ya talkin’ ‘bout? If you mean @fortunateisle’s Discord, I haven’t been thereabouts yet. It’s a bit of a trip and I figured I’d stand my ground here!

Did those cats perhaps look (or were described to look) like these?

Close! According to her description, it was a bit more like this:

just because music isnt playing doesnt mean im not listening to it

Hey Will, do you like to read? Do you remember reading anything?

Don't remember readin' much in life, but in our early days Thomas put me onto some stuff! Started with the Symbolists, as is to his likin', though I prefer what those Dada folks were up to! It's easy to get around to readings now -- those free "PDF" sites folks like Mal and Thomas live on have tons of goodies.

good luck on your trip 🙏

Thanks, pal!
