        Have you heard _Relayer_ or some of Moraz's duet albums 
        with Bruford? Moraz's playing on _Refugee_ is good, as 
        you say, but in conception and execution the album is 
        hochkaese, high cheese.

        Look, who said cheese was bad? 
 
        The ultimate cheesiest thing in the universe is the organ 
        sound on "96 Tears" (OFF TOPIC, Newman!) and it's 
        perfect. The cover to _In Search of the Lost Chord_ is 
        mightily cheesy, to say nothing of the spoken outro to 
        _Days of Future's Past_ "and who's to say which is 
        right....and which an illusion?" These are all cheese and 
        all wonderful. 
 
        Farfisa organs make cheese, so do Sears Silvertone 
        guitars. I love both.

        That's merely tacky, like Wakeman's icecapades.

        Ah, the legendary Wisconsin hybris.... Are we not gods of 
        cheese? Like the little boy from Racine who tried to fly 
        too close to the sun on wings made of Muenster.

        And you live in Wisconsin!? Was habst du, Auslander? 
 
 DM> I wonder where Zep Shulman acquired the taste for dairy air? 
 
        Why London, of course. Have you never sampled the London 
        dairy air? Or is that an assinine question? 
 
                                Cheese,
