Hi Dana,

We love Rick over here, he is quite a frequent TV personality in
England, not for his music but for his comedy (like to see more music
though!).

I agree, "Time for bed Zebedee, said Florence...Boing!"
(Some research may be required) :-)

I just heard this today, been looking for a while, I loved it...all
those strange sounds and tones that I haven't heard before. I
immediatley thought of 'Lovesick Martian' and had to play it.

I have a full 22 space cabinet now, but can't get anywhere near the
sounds that you create (no Q150 yet, it is next though).
Nevemind...it's still early days and I'll get there in the end.

Enjoy what's left of the weekend,

Clive.
