CoolSonics 180 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader, The Man In The Palace! Long may his jewels shine. ::: Corrections welcome ::: Basically this is the stuff which invades yer dreams at night & destroys any illusions of sanity you have left. Go with the flow & the endorphins will flood yer mind with pliable psychedelic plastic paraphyletic Perciformes, long thought destroyed during the Cretaceousi33aleogene extinction event, which however reappeared from the stratospere in the midst of Robyn's leftovers from dinner on the 17th of May in 1965. Having eaten most of said dinner, he told his mom he was off to the Jurassic Period with a couple of pals & would be back in a a few lightyears with a tattoo of a translucent strawberry on his inner left nostril & flyswatters permanently attached to his hands (which he planned to use as extra fins). Mama knew best & told him he's better be back for his 10th birthday, as she was going to give him an electric guitar, a frying pan & a strobe light. The rest is history, or his story, and our damn good luck. Enjoy! Kudos to Zongo for life support, Lochner for mikes&more & Fast Freddie for runnin' Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace). Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed me thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace.
