   BBSs are great! They're still a most viable alternative means of   
   communication, particularly when needed.

   That's probably because there may never come such a time, at least I hope!

   You too! Merry Christmas!

   Nah, we just tend  to try to keep things alive a bit here ;)

   Kind of like universal diseases - sickening through the ages - even though   
   the universal *implementation* of the universal cure is what's actually   
   needed ;)

   I don't currently have any of my material on youtube because it needs to be   
   further mixed properly. What I currently have is the first three 12 track   
   albums, all 36 tracks as four track recordings. Since they sound somewhat   
   like live recordings, I'll need to add the other sounds of a live show to   
   them. Then I'll start posting them, but that's easier said than done.
