Yes, of course, sorry! Well, maybe I'll just have to go buy a CONS.
Yeah, it was a joke that fell flat. I was remembering an old episode of Johnny Carson. Zamfir was the guest musician. Johnny asked Doc Severenson...
I like them a lot, and I can't really tell you why. They are easy to collect, for one thing, although I haven't tried hunting down some of the...
