As a guy who heard the record, the last IKE LP kicked ass. Personally, I'm
tickled pink for John, who, along with Cliff Hillis, Mike Giblin and several
other pop types on this list, is one of the great nice guys in the
Pennsylvania pop scene. If he managed to convince enough of his fans to
bankroll a recording effort, then that's terrific. Studio time is crazy
expensive.
Besides, James Joyce had a patron. It's not like it's without precedent.
