Well, Luddite that I am, I did finally upgrade to digital. There was too much hiss in the analog recoders in my price range. Thankfully, on my lastest collection, I have abandoned the trusty Alesis SR-16 in favor of my own live "drumming."

It sounds better, even though I lack the coordination to use my feet whilst playing drum.

Also, I've no bass amp. Screw it, I say!

Well then, yes. Our merged talents (or, perhaps, your talent and my enthusiasm) would threatend the very fabric of the "Chicago Scene." And I do sing, albeit more Billy Childish than Marian Anderson in vocal sweetness.

I should send you a copy of the new album -- featuring an 8-minute epic ballad about the Great Xenia Tornado of 1974, and a closing number that tells the story of Methods of Mayhem metal-rapper (and Springfield, OH native) TiLo.
