it's you I like (a quote from Mr. Rogers)

"I received all the goodies today and you made my day...The eggplant made me cry. Mr. Rogers was one of my favorites growing up, especially the town of make believe.

EGGPLANT QUOTE:
the sultry sounds of yesteryear

COMMENTS:
"the photos we took at the rave were very dark and with so many people moving in rhythm to bass and beats it was hard to get a non wobbly pic so i coupled it up with another pic of a few of my sound making boxes and my lovely ceramic eggplant. hope this does not break the rules! its been on a real journey round london and brought me great luck when i jockeyed discs that night, lots of smiley people dancing and no mistakes!! i think it'll always be a companion in my laptop bag when i play at a party from here on in. the sultry sounds of yesteryear will always be a huge influence on the sounds of today. Large thanks again."

they are now too happy to be able to hear us

COMMENTS:
