Once you hear our song, you'll feel a lot better. :) I like fuzz and noise and stuff. The only reason I record to a computer is that a 4-track doesn't have enough tracks for me. When you can't play very well, you need 8+ tracks to get the song down. And analog 8-track recorders are VERY expensive. robey - -- Robey Pointer | I'm not clever enough for a sig. robey@lag.net | http://www.lag.net/~robey - ------- The Ectophile's Guide to Good Music: http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide/ - ------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe sycophant If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of computers, they would all get AOL accounts and send unsub messages to the list address.

I can't see anyone who has been moved by Lisa's music rejecting your tribute contribution based on that. I wonder if Lisa knows how many people's lives she has changed? Mine, she has too, that's for sure.
