Ba-rum-bum!

Galileo is one of my favorite songs (an Emily song :) ): http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=4RiU2T4Psyc and Closer to Fine certainly, the one that put them in the limelight and another Emily song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY1Bl4nfpdA (that video kinda sucks the big one though. :) ) Interview with E...

I do have an Acorn that is exceptional and a couple of Generations that work well also, but I feel the odds of ...

Well I was real cool with this until Dale's posting, now I'm afraid to put my whistle to my lips.

Hey! Don't underestimate midi!

The black coating is a very tough and solvent-resistant material, perhaps a heat-cured powder coating, while the gold is just ...
