I still haven't heard that one. Been meaning to though since it's the other half of the the release that contains the 1975 version of "The Sinking of the Titanic".

I will have to listen to that album, but as you say, best done when you can set the time aside to immerse yourself in it. It sounds incredible.
What happens now? Is this the end of this journal? If so, you couldn't have written a better epitaph. But I hope somehow it'll morph, change into something else, as we've all grown used to seeing it here, and somehow the journal section won't be the same without it.
Double bravo, man.

Thanks TH! I'm flattered... and probably blushing a little.
As far as the future of this journal goes, I'm not sure. I have some ideas, but this is certainly the end of the story.
