xty:  Outstanding! What are you up to?

tmfc: I just caught a bat.

xty: With your bare paws?

    I got it! it’s perfect.
    I’m playing it now w/my iTunes – it’s all running together as it was intended by DAC when they produced this piece of art.
    It’s brilliant.
    This is one of my favorite albums of all time.
    It’s up there with MMJ’s “Z” and Adam and the Ants “Kings of the Wild Frontier.” And Physical Graffiti. And the Stones’ “Exile.” Am I clear? This album is UP there!

    I love the part of Punkin Center Barn Dance when he says

    “poets write of things to come, the earth will melt into the sun, and you and I will be the ones…at the punkin center barn dance…”

    Then the Willie Waylon and Me reprise kicks in shortly after.

    I love this album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
