Hey, Brad!   Don't forget the ant spray acquisition and deployment (remember,
ants are not *good* conductors, but they're good enough to cause
significant havoc on the inside of a $3k custom mic preamp!).  Also of
note was the need to learn the backroads of Harrisonburg and comingle
effectively with buggies and kids on bikes.  Quite a change from Nashvegas!
Oh, also the local ice-cream hang (I forget the name) for post-Diner
desert binging.

During some of the session breaks, I also had the chance to hear some
of the many Art of Fugue recordings that Bradley has amassed.
Gotta say that my faves are still GG on video from Off The Record and the
Bruno M. films, although there were many interesting moments on the
others (maybe the next project is a complete Art of Fugue?)

cheers,

PS:  Javachip and Arizona Green Plum rule.
