Thank you Vivian (and Tom)..
I don’t really do FB and this is excellent and much appreciated insights into the songs/album.

I don’t [no need for Mike’s adverb] do FB at all, so thanks for all this publically, Viv.

Faith & Grace Postscript:
At 20 minutes long we debated long and hard what to do with this “piece”. Should it be on the album; should it be presented on it’s own? For the longest time I was determined to put the full length version on the album but to do so meant we would have had to add a third record to the vinyl package and we just didn’t want to do that again. We already had 88 minutes of music and we didn’t want to edit that down to a long single CD – so we made the decision that the best way to present it was two separate 40+ minute CDs, but we didn’t think of it as a double CD and we chose not to market it as that. But, another triple vinyl just didn’t seem realistic so we had no real choice but to edit Faith & Grace down a little. We ended up taking out about a 6 minute section to cut it down enough so we could just fit the entire album on two vinyls. Other than taking out that section, what you hear is what happened. There were no overdubs later etc. We didn’t want to touch a thing. We will release the full version, most likely digitally, because it really needs to be heard in it’s entirety. We will also be putting out a blue vinyl 12” remix single for Record Store Day in April. That is going to blow some minds

Here is the info on Lu’s Record Store Day Release, as TO indicated in this blog.
