Hey Ray! Nice to hear from you! As you may have guessed, I am swamped as the year comes to a close for me as a high school teacher. I look forward to a hugely busy summer with music, though. We'll be doing a LOT of recording in "studio A" (my basement) on a couple of projects. I owe you a Myspace response, too. Keep an ey out for it! ;-) Peace, man! -->>Nick
