Yes, Spartacus was great. The other one I have is Illusions On A Double Dimple - good but not as good as Spartacus. I saw Camel in concert 1975+/- and they were excellent. I only have Mirage, Moonmadness, and Breathless - always on the lookout fo…

I pulled the plug yesterday. What a ride...since 2003 or so...

BJB! That Charlie Robison album is killer, ain't it? A perfect soundtrack for on my way to and from trouting down dusty back roads...

My good buddy saw Pere Ubu warm up for the Pixies in Chicago (at the Metro, maybe?) many moons ago, and the same thing happened to him. The crowd parted and all of a sudden David Thomas was standing next to him up front. My buddy… -

I'm finding it difficult to pull the plug, but it sure is different over there...all my rowdy friends have settled down...no one to run with...it sucks...bad... It started when they whacked Joey Jo Jo... Then the corporate whores and be-pimpled ac…The Essential Jimmie Vaughan: not too bad, 16 fer 12; great blues guitar...IMHO, nope. Unless you really like "Fables...Hmmmm, I think I have it back in the stacks. F*ckin' "Fables of Faubus" is a frickin' fantastic song, man... " 2-4-6-8, he brainwashes, teaches hate..."..or something like that...Thanks for the Lux & Ivy bump. Holy schmoly, what an amazing set of comps!Well, some of us just can't have enough!
