- I really love the "Greggary Peccary" story, myself... Is it me, or does the
- story end too abruptly when Greggary finally meets the philostofer??? Am I
- missing something subtle? It seemes that the story could go on for the entire
- disc, and then comes to an abrupt halt. Just wondering if anyone felt the same
- way.
-
- Also, it's good to see someone mention John Zorn. HE along with Francesco are
- my IDOLS when it comes to composition. Sheer genius. Has anyone gotten the
- "Music of Carl Stalling" album on which Zorn was the Production Consultant? I
- was thinking of getting that disc as well. I have a funny feeling that
- Stalling will fast be added to my pair of aforementioned idols.
- Info, anyone???
