Creepers!

Sounds as if all the fun has been taken right out of this one, boy howdy. Too bad I won't be getting that check for $7 million that I hoped would magically appear in my mailbox because I traded a cd containing a few tracks from the "Ports of Paradise" album, by Alfred Newman and Ken Darby, to someone for something else just as interesting and valuable. I suppose that anyone who would have liked to have heard the version of "Now is the Hour" from that album will have to go to their local Tower Records, order a CD copy from Capitol, sit down, and wait for it to be remastered, produced, packaged, released and shipped. Perhaps, if they don't leave the store, they'll be the first in line to get a copy and won't lose out to the rabid hordes of 16 year old girls who rush in to buy it the second it arrives.

It almost takes all the fun out of my being able to personally starve to death the children of Al, Ken, vocalist Mavis Rivers, a ton of talented musicians, the stockholders, staff and management of Capital Records, the staff of some Litho shop someplace and, since it was released as a cooperative effort, the staff and management of the Matson Navigation Company.

I guess that, if I don't do that one dastardly deed, the mysterious check for $7 million will be multiplied by thousands, go to them instead, and they will feed their families.
