PK's random anecdote of the week:

This is for the guitar freaks out there. While I was attending Berklee in the mid-1980's, a few friends and I made a pilgramage to Hartford, CT to some cheesy little club in a terrible part of town, to see Yngwie Malmsteen play (he was opening for a Japanese hair-metal band called Loudness).

You have to understand, the guy plays original 1963 Stratocasters, apparently with no modern type whammy bar, only the original stock ones, yet with the sheer abuse he inflicts on them they pretty much stay in tune.

He was asked how he keeps his guitars in tune, and his answer was precious...

He said "I yell at them."

I'm not quite sure if he was joking.

I usually only say that to women. Some great stuff in there, especially the Crack The Sky.

No Finch this week?

Keep up the great work.
