Every sound you hear... would each have it's own staff. It would takes me years (in my mind... more like maybe... 6 months to two years) to complete this. I'd have to create my own means of indicating pitch bends and modulation wheel movements... filter openings/closings and resonance on the synths and such. Not to mention certain additive synth techniques I don't completely understand that Thomas used. Also not to mention "these here backing vocals work best with zombies in the crypt with various microphone positionings" stuff. But you can be assured everything would be there... note wise!! All I need now is a publishing company to forward lots of money so I can afford the time to do this. I'll do it too!!

Considering that Dan Hicks is a contemporary of Clapton and if I remember correctly, "I Scare Myself" was written the year you were born (circa 1969) you can breathe easy. Just wait 'til you're my age. I remember the original version of "Love Rollercoaster"! But I'm still younger than the man himself...

An old song by whom I can't recall but I know the Red Hot Chili Peppers re-did it, and I think Bootsauce as well. It was probably done by Hot Chocolate or something similar. - --Omega - ------------------------------------------------------- omega@torfree.net Head of Dealer's Room -- ANIME NORTH Toronto's FIRST anime convention -- Sat.

Oh, but I always confuse it with "come on ride the train, whistle, whistle" Something about transportation I guess.
