   You just finished mentioning that those first versions aren't very good   
   musically, clearly indicating that the Quality of the demos Does mattter - a   
   Lot actually, which is why I at least recorded my demos with 5 tracks - to   
   give an idea of how the song will sound when performed with a band, i.e. not   
   solo.   
      
   Because I don't want some prospective lead hearing my tunes and saying;   
   'they sound like they might, possibly have some potential' rather than   
   saying WOW!!! THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! ;)   
      
   And speaking of which, I'm only one half verse and one chorus away from   
   completing tune #41, "It's Already Here", the 5th song on the currently   
   under construction and yet to be titled 4th album...only 7 more tunes to go!

   Why do you put it in those terms? "ending the band'...as though you're the   
   one doing it when it's the band that's doing it themselves.   
      
   > an the roofing guy finally called ...... crew will be here monday.   
   > sheesh, like I'll ever get some rest :-)   
      
   Yeah, it seems like all that crap all comes at once or in rapid succession.   
      
   > I'm reasonably stable, save that I will fly into a rage if provoked   
   > sufficiently .....   
      
   I'm waaaaaay past that - if I'm sufficiently provoked, I'll just fly, AWAY!   
   As for being stable, I'd say I'm just about as stable as it's possible to be   
   while being Tortured!!!   
      
   > this weeping and shit is worrysome.   
      
   I've got much more than all so many reasons to gush uncontrollably, totally   
   break down and lose it, but if I did, I'll be a totally debilitated basket   
   case and wouldn't be able to function, which if carried past a very small   
   point, would mean I wouldn't be able to survive either...and it's been that   
   way for every one of my 62 trips around the sun, my whole so-called 'life'.   
      
   > it is a bit of a mess, isn't it ?   
      
   More than merely a mess, it's a Hell on earth!   
      
   > at this point, it's just down to the divorce.   
      
      
   Jim   
      
   Divorce? For a band? ;)   
      
   Nope, not in this case, because from what you've mentioned, they were never   
   'married' ;)
