Yeah we all did is right :P Oh well since I'm here now  ...

Guitar players and the way they touch and caress the womenz they love  is all typical standard stuff ....A light touch , a heavy touch . A little vibrato here and a little whammy there  ...

Woah , now Sax players ...they are another breed . They have to have chops in places mere mortals have only yet to discover ..

After years of perfecting their embouchure and lip placement need I say more ?

It just goes to show you all the good stuff always seems to happen behind closed doors .

This is what the girlfriend and I did during the last few months of isolation - got really drunk and did things like pretending we were 1969/Abbey Road era Beatles or something...

Stupid Song idea totally ripped off from The Beatles: Krist
Guitar - Krist
Overdubs - Kyoko
Totally Unrehearsed Bass - Kyoko
Piano - Krist, under Kyoko's supervision - and heavy quantization (mainly).
Keys - Kyoko
Drums - Both of us idiots PLUS programming
Goofs - Mostly Krist
Cuteness: Definitely Kyoko
Vocals: We could not get Paul McCartney to take our call so there's no vocal. (Ringo did take our call and agreed to sing, but he sang out of tune, so we threw tomatoes at him until he left).

Recording Engineer: Astrid the dog
Mix Engineer: What's that? Like, a unicorn? Definitely not mixed. 

Special thanks to: Clos du Bois red wine.

Now I'm wondering how long it will be before Kyoko breaks up the pretend Beatles.

A gentleman never tells.

Not that I'm a gentleman, but I like to give the impression that I am. :D

A guy was stranded on a desert island with Cindy Crawford. He played it cool, and he didn't make any moves towards her for several weeks. Finally, one day he asked her if maybe they could start up a physical relationship, so as to attend to each other's needs. Cindy said she was game and a very vigorous relationship began.

Everything was great for about 4 months, but one day, the guy went to Cindy and said,' I'm having this problem. It's kind of a guy thing. I need to ask you a favour.' Cindy said,' Okay.' The guy said,' Can I borrow your eyebrow pencil?' Cindy looked at him a little funny, but said,' Sure, you can borrow my eyebrow pencil.' The guy then said,' Do you mind if I use the eyebrow pencil to draw a moustache on you?' Cindy is getting a little worried, but says,' Okay.' Then the guy said,' Can you wear some of my clothing, I need for you to look more like a man.' Cindy is getting a little disappointed at this point, but says,' Well I guess so.' Then the guy says to Cindy,' Do you mind if I call you Bill?' Cindy, very dejected, says,' I guess not.'

So, the guy reaches out and grabs Cindy by the arms and says...

' Bill, you'll never guess what I've been doing these past four months.....!'
