Have you any of your RKB committed to media? > cheers, > Stewart * I did a 4-track of 'Lucifer Sam' in the 80s and I used to perform 'Terrapin' and 'The Gnome' on stage in those days to mass indifference. More recently I did a tape of 'Elizabeth Jade' seguing into 'Rats'. I think my 2006 version of 'Scarecrow' is great and will record it in the near future... - - Mike n.p.

A tuplet of prog-rockers. My first mailcheck today netted zero spam. Can't recall the last time that happened. I feel like I should buy everyone drinks.

"A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer." -- Mitch Hedberg "For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk. And we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together. To build the impossible. Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking. And it's greatest failures by NOT talking. It doesn't have to be like this! Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking. -- Stephen W. Hawking . Tired of spam? Yahoo!
