I didn't get it first time around but soon after- wasn't lost on me - add a Santa Ana blowing through the Simi pass- my pal lived rural urban in the part of the Valley that still had dirt roads - his dad made chutes for Dragsters- the kid drank proudly from the gutter - that what Doo Wop does to my brain

Ok last comment concerning WFMU belt buckle swag. I had absolutely nothing to do with that. He is an LA fabricator that does that. IT is a fine product, the designer I work with has a roster of local fabricators, and some of them protest that she comes to me first. On one particular project he protested that she consulted me first. He had his own idea so I told her go with it. It bombed but he did excellent work so i told her he's a better fab guy In LA then the other ass clowns she has on retainer. But Unfortunately he don't kis tha LA ass BUt he is doing just fine, honestly far better tham I am at the moment
