Thanks Bob. It seems it takes two of us to decipher and fully explain Pauls posts and it was only a one liner!
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Another bit of lexicon clarification...Paul, if I'm right, 'nappy' means something completely different in Britain...although having a 'good' one might be worth taking the evening off...

The Troggs doing 'Good Vibrations' reminds me of a similar 'treatment' of a cover: Foreskin 500's version of the Boston hit 'More Than A Feeling'...a dreadful tune made so much more dreadful it comes out cool (sort of)...

I'd love to say yes...but, no; they are a legendary band from Denver, sadly no longer together...I still see Dave Kerr, aka 'Fogboy', the keyboard player, around town. He and my wife used to work together at Wax Trax records. Mark the Three-Kord Scissor King (guitar) has moved to L.A. where he's doing well engineering and producing. The lead singer, Diggy Diamond, has moved to New York...I can only assume he's up to hilarious no good...

If I can find that tune or a link to it, I'll be sure to post it...(and now, back to the 50's and 60's...sorry, Roy)

I would think that music would pay better than well engineering in LA, where everybody has city water...
