Greetings from Italy Mr. Zelinski
I wrote you some times and you always answered me. I write from Italy, last time you told me i' m a special reader because i read some books such as the Italian versions of The Joy of Not Working (3 times), The Joy of Not Being Married (2 times) and in English I've read Career Success Without a Real Job, How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free, and in spite you gave to me the e-book 101 Really Important Things You Already Know, But Keep Forgetting, I've bought the same this copy and i've appreciated also this book.
In these days i've ordered The Lazy Person's Guide to Success:.
If you remember when i wrote you last time i was gonna record a song where i mentioned the book The Joy of Not Working, but i'm not ready to do it. Instead last summer i self published a cd of covers -home recording- and i hope sooner or later to record some songs penned by myself where i include the song i was speaking. I leave you the website where you can listen (..... and laughing at the same time) the pre-listen of the tracks.
I hope you're well.
Thanks for your precious advices.

For the record the late Ben Kerr, Toronto busker and mayorality candidate, wrote two songs relating to my books: The Joy of Not Working and The Joy of Not Being Married .
The Joy Of Not Working Nine To Five
I know the joy of not working nine to five
Singing every day at Yonge and Bloor
Strumming my old 5-string guitar
It's the joy of not working and that's for sure
People say that I'm a lucky guy
And they wish that they could be like me
To know the joy of not working from nine to five
To be foot-loose and fancy free
But they'll never loose the treadmill that they're on
And it's sad to see dejection in their eyes
The joy of not working could be there
But they're just too afraid to try
Ernie J. Zelinski wrote a book
The Joy Of Not Working is its name
'Cause Ernie is a fellow just like me
And the joy of not working is his game
I know the joy of not working nine to five
Singing every day at Yonge and Bloor
Strumming my old 5-string guitar
It's the joy of not working and that's for sure
Strumming my old 5-string guitar at Yonge & Bloor
It's the joy of not working and that's for sure
The joy of not working and that's for sure
