So are we getting the band back together? It was great to talk to you! Yea, remember that you were the one that turned me on to the e-bow? I use it in my song writing all the time and have been for years... but I'm sure that was obvious to you. I remember you used electric shavers instead of the e-bow. I guess that's why I call you the professor.
