I thought this was so funny that I registered here just to say so.

I'm so smitten that I've even named myself after one of its characters (borrowed from the Commedia dell'arte, apparently):

"A local freak he happened by
A man whose wits weren't just awry
But in a class so far apart
He made most nuts look like Descartes"

We're pleased to have you here, Matamore, welcome! I've recorded this one, but haven't listened yet. It sounded good. 'm glad to hear it's as good as I'd hoped. I think I'll move it up on my queue after that review! I'll post back once I've had a chance to listen.

Now that you've dipped your toe in, we really hope you'll post often!

Anyhoo, weclome to the board,

Jan
