...to you, Al, for sharing some of this music you so understandably enjoy. Your package arrived just today, and I'm in the midst of Alex Lloyd's "Black the Sun." If this any indication as to the sonic fun my ears are in store for, the first thing I'm going to do that wheneversomeday I make it to Australia is track you down, drag you to a pub, and buy you a beer or five.

If this public "thanks" is a little embarrassing for you, well, tough noogies -- I won't apologize. :-)

Many, many thanks, sir. It may not happen this week, or even next, but I will return the favor.

Now, back to the music...
