   	Yeah, but I didn't use my shaky and vaguely phonetic sense of   
   spelling to look up the album; I just followed the link on the   
   Trowbridges' lineup listing, which turned up three or four CDs that   
   ... well, I swear, last week they didn't turn up 'Okonokos'.  Checking   
   Amazon.com with the band name now turns up 83 new and used copies of   
   Okonokos now, though.

   	I did enjoy the song, to the extent I could make it out -- music   
   I obviously have to turn the volume down on -- but probably if I had   
   found the CD listing I still wouldn't have figured out the track.  There's   
   just no really good natural low-volume balance that seems to leave music   
   and lyric in the picture.
