Krankschaft April Update

[mike c]

Oh yes, I meant to clarify that point
NONE of my rant has anythjing to do with Steve or any of the "God's" product.
I just meant CDs in general.
I am poor now so I want 'em good and cheap and stone new if I don't
get my free 12" vinyl and poster art included : )
WANT WANT WANT
and Steve, I will catch up and make up $$$$$
