Today I am happy to announce the release of the very short audio for Thomas Jefferson's interesting letter "A Dialog between the Head and Heart", which reaches just past 30 minutes long. Yes, it is a very short recording, but this one is a little different than most others I work on.
This recording is a compilation; that is, there are three voices present that are seemingly talking to each other in a way. One of the recordings in this I recorded.
This does not signal my triumphant return to the microphone though. I wish. I still have a very noisy environment that for now is only getting worse. It has me very frustrated but it isn't changing.
In any case about this letter: This is one of those things that has the potential to humanize the Founders. We in 2026 often times look toward the Founding Fathers just as a list of policy prescriptions but sometimes it is easy to forget: These were actually real people. They were real men and women and they did really amazing things. It is easy to look to the writings of the Founders and get policy inspiration but it is important to understand that one of the key poisons of progressivism is their insane campaign of de-humanization which the progressives have engaged in against the founding of our great republic.
This Head and Heart letter was written apparently while Jefferson had a broken wrist or arm, its actually quite amazing. We conceived of producing this letter as a compilation probably 12 years ago but back then I was merely a soloist in my recordings and was not set up to produce things like this which are much more interesting. During those times, the discussions and conception of this were during what were at the time (I did not know) some of the last years of our Tea Party meetings. I really miss those days, and I miss those people.
Jefferson's Head and Heart letter is a part of an LV collection, the last entry of the series 022. So just scroll to the bottom of the page and it is there.

A friendly ping to some of my new homeschool colleagues.
