See how U like it...
-Bilk [nice set by th way...and the after jam was even more entertaining due to its outrageously un-necessariness and energy, thks too for the kind words in the cd you signed...happy trails] (now fortified with extra Nuclear waste byproducts...look for BILK (tm) in your local supermkts produce isle...demand it by name!)
