Besides creating songs together, Angie & I also collect Joker cards. Angie is a long-time fan of Norwegian author Jostein Gaarder & introduced me to his novel The Solitaire Mystery (I had read Sophie's World some years ago). We decided to start collecting joker cards, like the father in The Solitaire Mystery. (This is one of the many reasons our band is called Joker).
Little did I realise that there are others on the web that have joker card collection sites, like Jokeresse's Jokerblog & Dotpattern. One of the things Angie & I have in the works for our official website is to post up our modest collection of joker cards as well, so I guess we are in good company!
UPDATE: Plenty of links to joker card collectors here.

Progress Report
I would love to give a definite release date for Homecoming, but for now all I can say is it will be November-ish. For now I think we can tentatively say 27 November 2007.
The music has been finished for some time, though & had to tinker with re-mastering it & the result is much better, more professional sounding. What is left is designing the CD artwork & getting everything sent off for mass production, then sending it to our first two distributors (CD Baby in Portland, Oregon and Your Indie CD in Rome, Italy).
The wait will be well worth it, however-- fuller sounding & more professional, with lyrics enclosed & Angie's artwork (a two-page collage inside). Angie showed me the first of her sketches for the collage & its coming along nicely.
In the meantime, we've got mp3s of the songs for download & a few songs from Homecoming that can be streamed (as at the top of this blog as well as on our official website at www.jokerpop.com).
Stay tuned... more to come!
