My wife is a teacher (Catholic grade school) and she just started this week. So I can kinda feel your pain. BTW-how did your procedure go, old man? I keep forgetting you teach stuff.

I'm crushed with work and life right now--my wife and I are both professors and she started her semester this week. And worse, my semester begins next week, but this year I'm working at the City University of New York, so I'm commuting from the Midwest to the East Coast every week. I'm a madman, I tell you! I'm trying to get ready for all this. At any rate, probably another week will go by before I have the chance to remaster any more material. I imagine I will have time to do it in the evenings in New York, but I'll have to find a good tape player up there to hook up to my computer--not always an easy thing to locate these days. Come to think of it, I have remastered a couple other songs: the original, original version of Funk This College Life that Gator and I recorded back at his parents' house. I wasn't sure I'd release it at all, at least without Gator's approval. I also have a version of "Chasing the Dragon" that he and I recorded at the same time, but it's not really a Lizard song since we never played it as a group. With Gator's approval, I can post these if anyone is interested. I also have the equalized and noise-reduced versions of the Fearless Freep tunes that I can post, if anyone wants them. I'll try to post these later in the week. Matt Sorry for the delay. I’m crushed with work and life right now–my wife and I are both professors and she started her semester this week.

(The good news being that he didn't sound like he was much better than I was...) I can tell it's me on SWM and NW, so it's just that one I would guess. So you guys cheated on me behind my back!

I can't recall why he was over at CN's "studio" with me. Now that I think about it, the drummer for that rather terrible cover of Pop Song ‘89 was a guy (a musician) I knew from ISU.

Stay With Me sounds really great. I think I like that better than the HOIYS version! Nursery World is very slow. Weird, but kinda REM-ish. Is that ME on Pop Song? I don't remember ever doing that song and (to me) it doesn't sound like me drumming. Can't wait for more as I have none of this stuff. Wow!
