The other recording that Alan is referring to...

The boss....Ivy...aka 'Mean'...she loves to sit right next to me when I'm playing...the other two can be found in the closets... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

The folks at FQMS are top notch. I'm still trying to get down there and check out the Vault.
