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,
Kenneth
