I haven't got time to. I'm off to play the drums, followed by a brake to diskuss the set list, and (as it isn't a big list) we will need to work out how to pad it out. Must go, as the singer just arrived wearing a copper slip.

Poor Zohar, thinking he's got lots of helpful posts :lol:

I expect his brain's spinning. Or perhaps brain and BRAKE CALIPER are now both SEIZED, and he's got no ROTATION. Perhaps he's become UNBALANCED, despite all our help - tee hee :-D
