Thank you, Bob, for sending the quote.
What i find intriguing about it is:

As i see it Joni's HOSL riddle has an answer. Otherwise she wouldn't have given the
clues. This quote makes it clear that the mystery here is not an abstract one. It's a
logical riddle that can be solved.
The clues: (Bob, am i wrong to think that there was more written on the inner sleeve
"clue list"?:)) -
"Centerpiece" is a Johnny Mandel - Jon Hendricks tune. John Guerin and I collaborated
on "The Hissing of Summer Lawns". "The Boho Dance" is a Tom Wolfe-ism from the book
"The Painted Word". The poem, "Don't Interrupt The Sorrow" was born around 4 A.M. in a
New York loft. Larry Poons seeded it and Bobby Neuwirth was midwife here, but the
child filtered thru Genesis at Jackfish Lake, Saskatchewan, is rebellious and mystical
and insists that its conception was immaculate."
What are this clues trying to tell us? They seem like "normal notes" given by an
artist - what makes them clues for solving the HOSL mystery?
I hope the "S. Holmes" in you can solve this case. I find it very interesting.
Love,
Nuriel
