- "Shanghai Sky" is off his _Big World_ album(s). It was neat on vinyl because it
- came as a three sided album. Packaged as a two album set, side four merely says
- "There is no music on this side." When you play it, it tracks to the center as
- fast as it can. Also, on of his best albums, in my arrogant opinion.
- Unfortunately, here in the States, it is now out of print (pressing?) on CD,
- and so I am reduced to scouring used record stores and checking on imports.
- It isn't working.
-
- They're right. It IS the wrong kind of snow (for them.) It's the kind that
- actually (god forfend!) falls from the sky... Our administration at least has
- the excuse of just not having any experience with snow (or regular
- below-freezing temps.) But gads - you think that some people would learn!
- Oh well, can't have everything : either we could have smart administrators
- or... what do we have now that's good? I forget... (end pseudoanarchist rant
- here.)
-
- Sounds great! Your call, though - what's next? I could do with another fast
- one...
