Steve,

Maybe I need a shot of testosteroni.


I smoked my AL-80B, so have been running the   solid state amp and 
trying to baby it a bit since THP went bust and I don't have a first born to
sell if I blow the finals.

The band was truly bad though,  not very often I can't even hear a whisper
from Lloyd, and you were copyable, but  way down.
