Hullo Mary, nice to hear from you too. If you're a hallucination, I still remember you. On that subject, does anyone know if Mike Coleman still exists? I always kind of figured he could be both real and a hallucination... I'm doing OK, overall, no great losses or danger which is better than some. I have been mail-ordering a lot of music though, that's basically where my commuting costs are now going! Best recent BOC-L-type purchase probably The Cosmic Jokers' _Galactic Supermarket_, a genuine kosmische jam that manages to be relly exciting over both sides. Close second for The American Amboy Dukes' _Journey To The Center Of The Mind_. As you can tell, I've been filling gaps in my musical education...

It's good! ? 2. Nice to have the "missing" songs incorporated into the album. Even though we've had the Brain Surgeons versions for ages now, they weren't really of a piece with the 1988 album, and now they're all together sounding great 3. Reviving the "Prince Omega" moniker is a nice tribute to Sandy 4. In fact all the credits and thanks are very generous and gracious 5. It's maybe less bombastic than Imaginos 1988, and Albert's voice gives it a different vibe. Wasn't sure about the vocals at first, in fact, but it really has to be Albert telling us this story 6. Gil Blanco is a retired baseball player who spent 1965 with the New York Yankees 7. "Imaginos" is maybe the most different from the 1988 version, and Joe's trumpet especially gives it and "Gil Blanco County" a desert/border vibe appropriate to the lyric 8.
