This echoplex machine is the coolest.  You *will* like Phil!  A song like
"Daddy Untwisted" or "Sea & Sky" would sound so good with that thing.

Happened to me at church yesterday morning.  10 minutes till service.  We
switched to piano and made it through with flying colors.

In the last month Zena has become just a *huge* VOL fan.  Since we got that
"Audible Sigh" disk, actually.  We'll be seeing them Wednesday here in
Chicago and she is so excited.  This review is much appreciated, jg.

This is basically the whole 'Audible Sigh' disc, with highlight tracks from
each earlier album thrown in for (very) good measure.  Zena is going to be
so happy to see this list.  We'll be joined Wednesday by a friend of ours
who writes for The Phantom Tollbooth, so we have a smidgen of hope that
we'll be allowed to join them for dinner/interview with Bill after the
show.  Oh, and we may also be joined by listee Eric, if he can get away from
his conference that night.

If you can catch this tour, and you have the *slightest* interest in VOL,
and you haven't heard 'Audible Sigh,' GO SEE THIS SHOW!  This album is
good.

Thanks again, jg.
