Hmm.... may have to revisit that one.

Hey 1stshow and EasyMeat. Just bustin with a Zappa tune. 1st show mentioned having to go back to it. I was there and had to give it a relisten. And not to type when I cannot even make sense of it. Couldn't get much higher? Wanna bet. Still taking off. cYa!
Nice 85 tease…
…now if only we could actually get some!
This shows good, but Crotchfester and Richmond are da shizzle from this run.
