Will this be an analog or a digital waveform? Analog waveforms are SO much
smoother (especially when it comes to making fondue!)

Not to mention what they might hurl at you!

Will you include a sample of a swastika with Jarlsberg cheese cubes stuck on
the endpoints? (It IS that festive time of year once again, y'know!)

The Jarlsbergotron, the cheesy-ist sampler in the world! Distributed by
Kraft, in the dairy section! Look for it in the handy touring size tub, or
for those of you who can't wait, in the handy squeeze dispenser, to apply to
your existing music collection to make it extra-specially cheesy, yum-yum!!
The time is ripe for this instrument!

what

Well the current incarnation of Elvis is rather impotent, so I don't think
Steve=Elvis.

>>Forty-one, dude. Gee, stop posting for a while and they all forget you!
Hey,
>>it's me, y'know, the old fart, "Pops" Shipley, remember??? I saw ELP on
both
>>the TRILOGY and the BRAIN SALAD SURGERY tour, Yes on the RELAYER and DRAMA
>>tour (met Trevor Horn at that one), Zappa every time he came to DC or
>>Baltimore, Pink Floyd on the post-DSotM, Black Sabbath on the BSV tour,
BOC
>>on the LIVE IN 76 tour (hell, I was at that show!!)
>
>Did you write a little postcard to mr. Carter??? If you did it didn't help
>one bit!

Not me, man! Did not vote for Mr. Carter, way back then. (He has since gone
on to be a great humanitarian, especially here in Georgia. Probably the one
President that has gone on to do greater things out of office than when he
was in. Dosen't say much for any of 'em, does it???)

>>and several others,
>>Kansas on the LEFTOVERTURE tour, Traffic on the WHEN THE EAGLE FLIES tour
>>(that release has one of the best recorded 'Tron solos in "Dream Gerard")
>>and a bunch more that me tired ol', Red Brick Seasonal Ale (local Atlanta

>>brain has forgotten...

>Well I'm impressed!!!!

Heh-heh, thought ya would be... Gotta go, time to sand the ceiling (no, this
is not a weird sexual deviation, my foyer ceilings' paint is peeling and I'm
getting ready to refinish it. I just LOVE this stuff :-/.)

NP: don't know yet, but it will be five 70 minute + CD's in the changer, set
on repeat (this is gonna be a long job. :-( ).
