Be a good boy in jolly old England, O my brother!

Watch out for the toad in the hole, and the old bubble and squeak.

O and how could I forget the English muff'ns...

KV--

Happy weekend to ya! I just finished a rough cut of a Gizmos love song medley -- "Heartbeat" and "Biscuits & Gravy" mashed together. I probably have to do some remixing and all, but first I have to sleep on it. If you're innarested, it's the last song on my player right now.

Talk to you later! Keep me posted when you're heading toward Chicago this year.
