Howdy Funkateers,

It seems like I havn't posted in ages, cause I havn't had anything too
relevant to say, and been busy, etc. but I couldn't pass this one up.

If you like funky tubas, check out Henry Threadgill. "Too Much Sugar for
a Dime" Its full of odd time grooves, using 2 tubas instead of bass. very
out there fusion if you're into that kinda thing.

also, picked up UFO's Talkin' Loud / Brownswood album. heard some hubbub
eons ago about it, and i really dig it.
