<GHammerSteve> Fred, should we tell them we've gone polka?

<Fred_Schendel> well you just did ;-)

<zotzz> i love polka music

<Sun> lol

<GHammerSteve> Ooops! 

<GHammerSteve> Yep, we've gone polka.

<Fred_Schendel> I'm working on a mariachi version of Supper's Ready- no lie

<GHammerSteve> Prog is dead.  Long live the polka!

<DJBarryHobbit> Here we go fellas

<Fred_Schendel> Weird Al proved anything works as a polka

<DJBarryHobbit> The OFFICIAL show

<DJBarryHobbit> HOHO

<DJBarryHobbit> Polka kings!

<zotzz> what kind of polka? Polish?

<Fred_Schendel> woohoo!

<Fred_Schendel> is there any other kind??

<DJBarryHobbit> Beer Barrel Polka

<Sun> riverdance goes prog....now that's a thought.  Can you imagine the dancers trying to keep the beat to prog?

* Keith changes topic to 'Classic Tracks - On Air Now @ www.imaginarydimensions.com'

<GHammerSteve> Hey, that's us!

<Fred_Schendel> *blush*

<GHammerSteve> Aw shucks!

<zotzz> applause please!

<Keith> Yay! Barry's son is home!! woohoo!!

* Sun gets out his guitar and auditions for tuning the guitars

<GHammerSteve> Top ten?

<zotzz> i agree

<Fred_Schendel> *blush blush*

<GHammerSteve> Tolkien?

<Fred_Schendel> who's that

<Fred_Schendel> one of those "writer" guys

<GHammerSteve> Tolkien must have written one king?

* Sun has seen the movies lol

<Sun> including yours

<zotzz> journey of the dunadan

<Fred_Schendel> not from us!!

<Fred_Schendel> Drama---> great album

<GHammerSteve> Thanks!

<zotzz> roman solider

<GHammerSteve> Indeed.

* Sun asks a question. They asked Jon Anderson if he was every going to put the Bible to music before Yes recorded Topographic Tales...so guys when are you doing the Bible?

<zotzz> love the art work on the album

<Fred_Schendel> uh- you take that *lol*

* Sun is goofy so just ignore me ;)

<GHammerSteve> Hmm...Taking on the Bible might be a bit over our heads.

<GHammerSteve> I might be up for "Leviticus - the musical" though.

<GHammerSteve> Fred?

<Fred_Schendel> We tried a small bit of it though

<DJBarryHobbit> Well, the fellas did do David and Goliath!

<zotzz> that sounds good

<Sun> I was more into hearing "End of the World" Revelation style music....I know you have it in you.

<DJBarryHobbit> And did a fine job of it!

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: Glass Hammer - Tales Of The Great Wars

* Sun agrees

<GHammerSteve> Who has heard David and Goliath?

<DJBarryHobbit> I will be bouncing back and forth fellas

* Sun has it

<DJBarryHobbit> I have David and Goliath!

<DJBarryHobbit> Gotta say hi to my son!

<Fred_Schendel> it was a try at a different market- that always gets us in trouble :-(

<GHammerSteve> Hey, better check him over for leeches.

<DJBarryHobbit> Levels good fellas!

<DJBarryHobbit> HOHOHOHO

<zotzz> lol

<DJBarryHobbit> Leeches

<Sun> You know better than to listen to critics

<zotzz> yes, levels are great

<Fred_Schendel> levels->fine

<GHammerSteve> fine here

<Fred_Schendel> I wasn't the critics... it's the industry.. uh, should we go down this road *g*

<Sun> I'd like to hear your opinion, sure.

<DJBarryHobbit> The industry is a ruff place for sure

<DJBarryHobbit> Are you referring to the music industry in general

<GHammerSteve> What was the original question?

<Sun> They didn't want you to do it because there wasn't a market for sales?

<GHammerSteve> Oh - Julie is filling me in.

<GHammerSteve> The industry LOVED it, but told us to 'dumb it down'.

<Fred_Schendel> I implied that D&G had troubles because of it's attempt to connect with the "Christian Market"

<DJBarryHobbit> Hmmmm

<GHammerSteve> That would be Provident Music.

<DJBarryHobbit> Ah, Provident

<Fred_Schendel> accck-- typos abound

<GHammerSteve> They said it was brilliant, and encouraged its completion.

<GHammerSteve> Then dumped on it.

<Fred_Schendel> much will be said someday in an appropriate venue *g*

<Sun> lol figures

<DJBarryHobbit> Well there are some good folks in the industry, but there are a lot of "market" issues

<GHammerSteve> Too smart for the CCM market.

<DJBarryHobbit> And of course, most Christian labels are owned by mainstream companies

<DJBarryHobbit> Who are mostly just interested in $$$$

<DJBarryHobbit> As any label

<GHammerSteve> Plenty of good folks, not many brave ones though.

<Sun> Some prog is slowly easing it's way in the Christian Music Market

<Fred_Schendel> it was a fun thing to do but I get more from doing stuff like Lex Rex myself *g*

<DJBarryHobbit> And not very artist friendly, right?

<GHammerSteve> But who am I to say.  We loved D&G, but we wrote it.

<DJBarryHobbit> I love it too!

<GHammerSteve> Correct.

<GHammerSteve> Thanks!

<DJBarryHobbit> OK, I like this part

<Sun> I have read reviews comparing Glass Hammer to 70's style Yes in it's complexity and feel...good company there!

<DJBarryHobbit> Gettin into some wicked keys here dat I like!

* GHfan_Sam has joined #dimensions

<DJBarryHobbit> Welcome Sam

<Sun> Hi Sam

<Fred_Schendel> I never complain about comparisons like that *g*

<zotzz> hi sam

<GHammerSteve> Sam runs GHfan.net.

<Fred_Schendel> hi Sam!!

<Sun> Same here Steve

<GHammerSteve> Hey Sam :)

* Sun is a Yes Freak

<GHfan_Sam> mae govannen, elf friends

<Fred_Schendel> I haven't done the music yet--- I'm working on it *lol*

<DJBarryHobbit> Really...you guys like YES?  Never woulda guessed!!!=)

<Sun> lol

<GHammerSteve> Sam actually speaks Elven.  Or is it Elvish?

<DJBarryHobbit> Ahhh, elvish!

<DJBarryHobbit> Love it!

<Fred_Schendel> yeah, its a shocker isn't it *lol*

<GHfan_Sam> Elvish - quenya

<GHfan_Sam> i'm not so good with sindarin though :-p

<DJBarryHobbit> Sam, U rock

<DJBarryHobbit> Glad to have ya

<DJBarryHobbit> I am the DJ

<DJBarryHobbit> And the Hobbit tonight

<DJBarryHobbit> HOHOH

<GHfan_Sam> Hi. :)

<Fred_Schendel> this is my Pat Moraz homage

<DJBarryHobbit> IN honor of our friends

<DJBarryHobbit> Better than Moraz!!! HOHOHO!

<DJBarryHobbit> Barry is gushing, sorry!

<Fred_Schendel> well, let's not go to far!

<Fred_Schendel> pat was great-  I wish he'd do more these days

<DJBarryHobbit> Almost banjo-ish there

<GHammerSteve> Vocal effects created in Video Vegas.

<DJBarryHobbit> Cool part!

<Fred_Schendel> or anything, actually.  The Moody Blues burned him out or something

<DJBarryHobbit> Nice geetar

<GHammerSteve> For those who'd like to know??

<Fred_Schendel> that was a mandolin

<DJBarryHobbit> ahhhhh, cool!

<GHfan_Sam> :)  I'm always interested in that sort of thing

<DJBarryHobbit> Who played it?

<GHfan_Sam> the recorder rocks! ^_^

<Sun> nice....I have one of those but barely know the chords

<GHammerSteve> Fred plays everything - sometimes.

<GHfan_Sam> except bass, right?

<Fred_Schendel> I played the small mandolin part and the recorder...  I play lots of things semi-competently *lol*

<GHammerSteve> Oh, he does let me play bass.

<GHfan_Sam> i still stand in awe every time i listen to "revelation/chronometry"

<Fred_Schendel> and keys... and write all those words

<DJBarryHobbit> Cool

<DJBarryHobbit> Good info

<GHfan_Sam> yeah!  the words!  gotta love those words

<GHammerSteve> True - it is all me when you get right down to i.

<DJBarryHobbit> The song that got me into Glass Hammer!

<DJBarryHobbit> Yay!

<Fred_Schendel> Steve is the grand conceptualist of GH

<zotzz> i know nothing about playing music, all i can say is that you guys satisfy my taste for great prog music

<DJBarryHobbit> Drama era yes!

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: Glass Hammer - One King

<GHammerSteve> Grand conceptualist?  Cool!

<GHfan_Sam> Steve is the Tolkien of the music world

<GHammerSteve> I'm going to print that somewhere.

<DJBarryHobbit> Ohhh, I like that

<GHfan_Sam> another cool way of putting it.

<GHammerSteve> Tolkien?

<GHfan_Sam> Totally!!!!.3

<DJBarryHobbit> The elder led him wrong, how sad!

<Fred_Schendel> i had always thought of the organ as Wakeman-ish... but the vocals, yeah-- you're right

<DJBarryHobbit> =(

<GHfan_Sam> And that's pretty strong coming from me, considering i speak quenya

<GHammerSteve> The elder is 'the god of war.'

<Sun> I was going to mention that on Chronometree "A Perfect Carousel" is a great segue into "Chronos Deliverer".  I love listening to those two songs back to back.

<DJBarryHobbit> Ah!

<DJBarryHobbit> Ares messin wid his mind

<DJBarryHobbit> That danged Ares

<GHfan_Sam> what's he got against the poor dude anyway?

<GHammerSteve> Sun, we're actually playing Chronos Deliverer live.

<GHammerSteve> The elder?  He's a road block on the path to glory.

<GHammerSteve> Yes, Rich Williams of Kansas joined us for a song.

<Fred_Schendel> it was a lot of fun- there were some technical glitches (as always) but it came off quite well

<Fred_Schendel> glitches

<DJBarryHobbit> Man, how cool is DAT!

<Fred_Schendel> that's what I said!! *lol*

<GHfan_Sam> and i got to be onstage with gh and rich williams together!!!

<GHammerSteve> It was the coolest.  I looked over and saw Rich, then looked back behind me and saw our choir.

* Sun read about the glitches...some people aren't happy unless they slam someone.

<GHammerSteve> A dream come true!

<DJBarryHobbit> What didja play with him?

<Fred_Schendel> Portrait (He Knew)

<GHammerSteve> Well, there were 3 standing ovations - and all were standing.

<DJBarryHobbit> One of me favorites!

<GHammerSteve> Of course, 2 were for Rich.

<GHammerSteve> lol

<GHfan_Sam> you deserved them though anyway

<Fred_Schendel> me and Walter had done it for years- never thinking we'd play it with someone from Kansas!!!

<GHammerSteve> We really didn't get a sound check, as Sam can attest to.

<DJBarryHobbit> I have seen some great pics

<DJBarryHobbit> From the show

<GHfan_Sam> yeah, it was pretty bad...

<GHammerSteve> We're hoping to film the show for a DVD release.

<DJBarryHobbit> Look at the warrior, he's dropped his sword...

<DJBarryHobbit> I LOVE that part

<DJBarryHobbit> Whoa, I can play E!

<GHammerSteve> Carrie Streets on vocals

<GHfan_Sam> i always wondered!

<DJBarryHobbit> Nice multi-layer vox!

<GHammerSteve> David's wife (of D&G)

<GHfan_Sam> i figured it was sarah or something

* Sun bangs his head to the drums....that is why I don't make a lot of sense at times

<GHammerSteve> 4 string bass again

<GHfan_Sam> so what does sarah sing then?

<Sun> nice piano ;)

<Fred_Schendel> an impossible piano part *g*

<Sun> no kidding

<Fred_Schendel> it's sped up just a *bit*

<GHammerSteve> She does all of the parts on Centurion, the soprano on WWWYoung, and one solo on Tales.

<Sun> tricks of the studio?

<Fred_Schendel> then I had to play it live- D'oh!! *lol*

<GHfan_Sam> the "i will lead the charge"?

<Sun> lol

<GHammerSteve> Yep!

<GHammerSteve> That's her.

<GHfan_Sam> I see

<DJBarryHobbit> My favorite keys here

<DJBarryHobbit> Great lick!

<Fred_Schendel> just to get it so clean sounding... see, you guys are learning all the tricks now ;-)

<GHammerSteve> David Carter on guitar.

<GHfan_Sam> nice

<DJBarryHobbit> I like this

<DJBarryHobbit> right

<DJBarryHobbit> NOW!

<GHammerSteve> Hammond of course.

<GHfan_Sam> :)

<Fred_Schendel> I like this part- it actually reminds me of the band Discipline trying to sound like Genesis *lol*

<DJBarryHobbit> HO

<GHammerSteve> Ha!

<GHammerSteve> Boring for the bassist though!

<GHfan_Sam> i was so proud when i finally figured out what freed was singing in the background...

<Fred_Schendel> David Carter on guitar starting HERE

<GHammerSteve> What is it?

<GHfan_Sam> "further up"

<GHfan_Sam> like the title....

<GHfan_Sam> you know?

<GHfan_Sam> *hangs head*

<GHammerSteve> Right you are.

<GHfan_Sam> not too good with picking out lyrics

<GHfan_Sam> a little bit slow

<Fred_Schendel> the title of the song had to be in there *somewhere* lol

<GHfan_Sam> Of course

<Fred_Schendel> title

<GHfan_Sam> :)

<GHammerSteve> It was in there earlier!

<GHfan_Sam> Hey, i actually knew that too!

<GHfan_Sam> "so his .... turned from men, further up and further in"

<GHfan_Sam> forgot a word there

<Fred_Schendel> well yeah, but this is beating it with a sledgehammer

<GHfan_Sam> But that line always makes me wince

<GHammerSteve> Right :)

<DJBarryHobbit> Nice end to this song

* Sun wants to ask a techie question....what processing do you use on the electric guitars?

<GHfan_Sam> men?  in?  those don't rhyme! 

<GHammerSteve> It ain't over yet though!

<Fred_Schendel> dynamics--- yay us *lol*

<GHfan_Sam> ;)

<GHammerSteve> tremolo on the bass

<DJBarryHobbit> Nice "wind down"...that better?

<DJBarryHobbit> HOHOHO

<GHammerSteve> Gotcha :)

<Fred_Schendel> usually a little pedal from Digitech- we don't use amps much anymore in the studio

<Sun> all direct to disc?

<Fred_Schendel> can't remember the model offhand

<Sun> no preamps?

<GHammerSteve> Sans amp on the bass.

<Fred_Schendel> nope...  direct inject.  technology has made it possible *g*

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: CTraxGrandCanyon

<Sun> do you process it once it is on disc?

<Fred_Schendel> actually, we did mic an amp on the bass for this album... we didn't use it much

* Sun is trying to learn the tricks

<GHfan_Sam> no more gh music? ;_;

<Fred_Schendel> woohoo!  yay Sam

<GHammerSteve> Two cabinets - the sun and a 15 wasn't it?

<GHfan_Sam> Yay!!!  *special fuzzies*

* Sun chants Chronometree!!!

<Sun> next

<GHfan_Sam> Thank you!

<Fred_Schendel> yes

<GHammerSteve> Three channels of bass to choose from in the mix.

<Fred_Schendel> but there is so much good amp modeling stuff on the market now... everything can be simulated

* Sun settles for what secrets of the studio he can squeeze out of you great musicians

<GHammerSteve> Its all in the ears :)

<GHammerSteve> That would be me.

<GHammerSteve> Me...

<GHammerSteve> ME!!!

<GHfan_Sam> lol

<GHfan_Sam> is there an echo?

<GHammerSteve> Wow!

<Sun> who can afford a mellotron...lol

<Fred_Schendel> you could buy a Guitar Pod and a bass pod from Line 6 and you're set to record bass and guitars, Sun *g*

<Sun> or find one for that matter

<GHammerSteve> Thanks.

<Fred_Schendel> they do every classic sound

<GHammerSteve> We had fun with that!

<DJBarryHobbit> Of course Aragorn is played by Viggo Mortensen

<GHammerSteve> We'll do a phone interview.  We love to wisecrack though - just a warning.

<Fred_Schendel> Petermir???

<GHammerSteve> :)

<GHfan_Sam> *sam tries to dig up some strange silmarillion -mir name but can't remember any others*

<DJBarryHobbit> I have lost my mind

<GHfan_Sam> :-p *hack*

<GHfan_Sam> I hate Viggo.

<GHammerSteve> Viggo apparently doesn't like America - or so I heard.

<GHfan_Sam> yay!  wise cracking phone interview!!!  more stuff to look forward to!

<GHammerSteve> And yet, we're employing him :)

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: Glass Hammer - Music For Four Hands (And Temporal Anomaly)

<GHfan_Sam> "no blood for oil" -lol

<Fred_Schendel> well, he's a flakey guy in real life from what I've read but he's a good Aragorn

<DJBarryHobbit> My wife likes Viggo as Aragorn

<GHfan_Sam> he's way better than  liv tyler, that

* Sun even has The Wyzards that Steve was a part of long ago

<GHammerSteve> Right on the oil.  Just try driving to work without it!

<GHfan_Sam> s for sure...

<DJBarryHobbit> But not really Viggo politically or personally!

<Fred_Schendel> I do wish PJ hadn't made the character quite so... conflicted...

<DJBarryHobbit> Wyzards is the only thing I need to get!

<GHfan_Sam> I totally agree!

<GHammerSteve> Wyzards has some good moments.

<GHfan_Sam> "i don't want to be a king... *sniff sniff*" wimp!

<DJBarryHobbit> PJ did add a lot of stuff 4 sure

<GHammerSteve> There's an 'epic' that was fun to write.

<DJBarryHobbit> But still think he did an admirable job

<Fred_Schendel> well, we could nitpick the movies but that's not why we're here *lol*  PJ's doing a great job

<GHfan_Sam> I agree

<GHfan_Sam> Sam rocks!

<GHfan_Sam> That's all that matters, right? ;)

<GHfan_Sam> no, jk

<DJBarryHobbit> Yup!

<DJBarryHobbit> Nice PEEEano here

* Sun chants Chronometree!!! next!!!

<GHammerSteve> PJ is making great movies .

Mike_n_Amy has joined #dimensions

<GHammerSteve> But Tolkien made better books.

<GHfan_Sam> Silmarillion!

<Sun> wb Mike and Amy

<GHfan_Sam> Yay!

<GHammerSteve> Hi Mike and Amy

<GHfan_Sam> mae govannen again

* Sun sets mode: +o Mike_n_Amy

<GHammerSteve> Cool edit Fred.

<Fred_Schendel> anyone who guesses the meaning of the title of the piano piece wins some lint

<Mike_n_Amy> hey guys

<GHfan_Sam> Meaning?

<Sun> lol fred

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: Glass Hammer - A Cup Of Trembling

<GHammerSteve> Don't you dare tell them Fred.

<DJBarryHobbit> hmmmmmm

<GHfan_Sam> *confused*

* Sun thinks

<DJBarryHobbit> Music for clocks?

<GHammerSteve> Yep!  You win the lint!

<Fred_Schendel> sort of

<DJBarryHobbit> Yay!

<GHfan_Sam> I don't get it.

<GHammerSteve> You will when you're older Sam.

<GHfan_Sam> *pout*

<GHammerSteve> Just kidding :)

<Sun> wow I guess Barry gets that lint sent overnight express

<GHfan_Sam> :)

<DJBarryHobbit> Man, GH lint.  A true honor!

<Sun> frame it now

<GHfan_Sam> no kidding!

<DJBarryHobbit> I will frame it with my Lex Rex CD cover

<Sun> lol

<GHammerSteve> No kidding, we'll be doing a Lint give away with the next release.

<GHammerSteve> I'm serious.

<GHammerSteve> Okay, no I'm not.

<GHfan_Sam> Yay!  Lint for sam!

<Fred_Schendel> hey, maybe that should be the name... "Lint"

<GHfan_Sam> I'll hang it up in my locker!

<DJBarryHobbit> So fellas, I shoulda played Chronometree after this rather than ArkAngel

<Fred_Schendel> it's very post-modern

<zotzz> yes

<GHfan_Sam> the more gh the better

<GHfan_Sam> that

<GHfan_Sam> s always the rule

<GHammerSteve> Well, I started to suggest that, but thought otherwise.

<Sun> Do you have a working name for the next release?

<GHfan_Sam> .*always

<DJBarryHobbit> *Barry could do a last minute programming change*

<GHammerSteve> lol

<DJBarryHobbit> I AM DJ BarryHobbit

<Fred_Schendel> we.... might

<DJBarryHobbit> !

<GHammerSteve> Yes - the name of the album is:

<GHfan_Sam> Yay!  chronometree!

<GHfan_Sam> *drum roll*

* Sun listens closely for the scoop

<GHammerSteve> Shadowlands

<DJBarryHobbit> Yes..

<DJBarryHobbit> COOL

<GHfan_Sam> Yay!!!!!

<DJBarryHobbit> Lewis!

<DJBarryHobbit> Yay!

<Sun> Great!!

<Fred_Schendel> well, there ya go *g*

<GHammerSteve> Well Fred, I guess that settles it.

<Sun> lol

<GHfan_Sam> I feel privileged!

<GHammerSteve> Weve anguished over the title, more than the music.

<GHfan_Sam> Ouch

<GHammerSteve> You are the first to know.

<Sun> I did say working title...so I will understand if you guys change it.

<GHammerSteve> Go forth and spread the good tidings.

<zotzz> like the title

<Fred_Schendel> no, I think that's it

<GHfan_Sam> I will post it on my site!

Sun spreads the butter

<GHfan_Sam> fwahahahha!

<GHammerSteve> Don't give us a way out!

<GHfan_Sam> as we speak!

<Fred_Schendel> we just needed someone to go "yay"  *lol*

<GHfan_Sam> i'

<GHfan_Sam> m good at doing that!

<GHfan_Sam> yay!

<GHfan_Sam> see?

<GHfan_Sam> it'

<GHammerSteve> Other titles were - "Album of the Year", and "Tronosaurus".

<GHfan_Sam> s my specialty

<Fred_Schendel> and "Lint"

<Sun> it may be the album of the year anyway

<GHfan_Sam> i did like Lint...

<GHfan_Sam> ;)

<zotzz> keep the shadowland title

<GHammerSteve> It is not "The Return of Lex Rex".  It isn't a concept album :)

<GHfan_Sam> :( 

<GHfan_Sam> no big story

<GHfan_Sam> but i guess a bunch of little stories can be good as well...

<DJBarryHobbit> OK folks, programming change in honor of our special guests

<GHammerSteve> How do you follow the last story?

* Sun wants to hear the story behind the album...big or not?

<DJBarryHobbit> We will be playing Chronometree in its entirety

* Sun chants Chronometree!!! next!!!

<Fred_Schendel> it sounds somewhat Lexy-Rexy.... hopefully a bit better but you'll all have to be the judge of that!

<Sun> yah!!

<GHfan_Sam> Yay!!!!!!!..

<Sun> lol

<GHammerSteve> Well, these are individual songs.

<GHfan_Sam> better than lex rex will probably cause many circuits of mine to completely short

<Fred_Schendel> I even wrote some words...

<GHammerSteve> 2 or 3 introspective things, one 'prayer' called "Farewell to Shadowlands",

<GHfan_Sam> i honestly cannot fathom that

<GHammerSteve> and a tale from the Napoloenic wars.

<Sun> I just love the complex prog music of Glass Hammer.....it is rare today.

<GHfan_Sam> (i mean i can't fathom being better than lex rex, not i can't fathom that stuff steve was saying)

<Fred_Schendel> well, we 're always into what we're doing NOW, we can't be objective

<GHammerSteve> I agree though, it sounds better than Lex.

<GHfan_Sam> **bouncing up and down** YAY!

<GHammerSteve> Better equipment now.

<Mike_n_Amy> Yay...Chronometree!!!!

<GHammerSteve> And thanks for playing Chronometree.

<Fred_Schendel> yes indeed!!

<GHfan_Sam> (see, i am professional "yay-sayer"!, no?  watch the art with which i insert my exclamation points!)

<GHfan_Sam> I havent listened to chronometree yet today...

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: Glass Hammer - Centurion

<Fred_Schendel> the check's in the mail Sam ;-)

<GHfan_Sam> lint?

<GHfan_Sam> of my very own?

<GHfan_Sam> oh please, please?

<GHammerSteve> Sarah on the vocals...coming up.

<Fred_Schendel> Xebo approved Lint!

<Mike_n_Amy> dryer lint?...or Bellybutton Lint?

<GHammerSteve> Buried in the background of course.

<GHfan_Sam> hooray!

<GHfan_Sam> I can never make out what she

<GHfan_Sam> s saying

<Fred_Schendel> behind-the-couch lint

<GHfan_Sam> :(

<GHammerSteve> 8 string bass again.

<GHfan_Sam> although i think i can hear "for unto us a child is born a song is given....

<GHammerSteve> Love that 8 string.

<Sun> oh cool...might be a piece of candy or old popcorn mixed in there

<GHfan_Sam> 'and the spear of the roman pierced holy flesh" but that's it

<GHfan_Sam> oh, popcorn is indeed wonderful

<Mike_n_Amy> I love commentaries during music...

<GHammerSteve> Well, thats enough I suppose.

<GHfan_Sam> Im going to go wait in front of my mailbox

<GHammerSteve> There she is.

<GHfan_Sam> then again, steve, this is the Lyrically Challenged speaking

<Sun> lol

<GHammerSteve> That's why we print the lyrics :)

<Mike_n_Amy> Neal Morse did that during the "Snow" premiere, it was a hoot!

<Fred_Schendel> We thought it would be fun to do an "old-school" instrumental song, or I did... that was the idea behind this

* Sun loves the chorus work...sounds quite like a small choir

<GHammerSteve> One girl, many tracks.

<Sun> better than the mellotron choir...she rocks

<Fred_Schendel> and then some more atonal stuff than the rest of the album for the more hard-core proggers ;-)

<GHammerSteve> She really is good.  I've worked with her since she was 15.

<GHammerSteve> She's just 20 now I think.

<GHammerSteve> Met her at church.

<GHfan_Sam> cool :)

<GHfan_Sam> did she sing in the church music group or something?

<GHammerSteve> Sang in the choir.

<GHammerSteve> She's in a couple of bands now, ours included.

<GHammerSteve> Background noise is from David and Goliath.

<GHammerSteve> Was.

<Sun> I was about to ask

<GHfan_Sam> i was wondering about that!

<GHfan_Sam> what part?

* Sun could not make out what was being said

<GHammerSteve> Shamah I think.  It happens during Further Up too.

<GHfan_Sam> (my bros were listening to that this week  - they like it a lot, but i think they still love man in the woods more...)

<GHammerSteve> Near the beginning.  Zeru and Goliath I think.

<Fred_Schendel> i was just meant to be muttering... indistinct

<Fred_Schendel> it

<GHfan_Sam> Ok, shamah is who?  Fred?  or Brad?

<GHfan_Sam> I always get them mixed up

<GHammerSteve> Brad.

<GHfan_Sam> wait... fred is abner?

<GHfan_Sam> K

<GHfan_Sam> Got it then.

<GHammerSteve> Fred is Abner and Abinidab.

<Sun> like the voices in my head Fred...please make them stop!

<GHammerSteve> Actually Zeru says "Where is he going Father", before Further Up.

<GHfan_Sam> Oh adam, come here... ABNER!!!

<GHfan_Sam> hee hee hee

<Fred_Schendel> just hit yourself until they don't bother you anymore ;-)

<GHammerSteve> I thought it kinda made sense.

<GHfan_Sam> Yeah, that

<GHfan_Sam> 's cool

<GHfan_Sam> :)

* Keith has joined #dimensions

* ChanServ sets mode: +o Keith

<Fred_Schendel> and there's a "Good Night" in there too

* Sun takes Fred's advice....

<GHfan_Sam> (I did hear that!

<Sun> I love this part

<GHfan_Sam> Go me!

<Sun> part

<Fred_Schendel> nooooooo I was kidding *g*

<GHammerSteve> Kinda Somnambulist like?

<Sun> This was the "end of the world" type of stuff I love

<GHfan_Sam> somewhere in here i always think it's switching to "wwwy" and i get all confused.  even though i listen to this album about  every day so i should know better... :-p

<GHammerSteve> That's Somnambulist!

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: Glass Hammer - When We Were Young

<GHammerSteve> It would be neat to do the soundtrack for 'the end of the world'.

<Mike_n_Amy> Amy wonders who's a Buddhist...

<Sun> please do!

<Fred_Schendel> Somnambulist are gooderns

<GHfan_Sam> lol

<GHammerSteve> Presbyterian here.

<GHfan_Sam> roman catholic for me

<GHfan_Sam> ..just in case anyone cares.

<GHfan_Sam> ;)

<Sun> nice to know :)

<GHammerSteve> We're watching you Sam.

<GHfan_Sam> EEEEkkkkkk

<DJBarryHobbit> I like the singing here

<DJBarryHobbit> Coming up...

<GHfan_Sam> **looks around, paranoid*

<GHfan_Sam> I love it!!!!

<GHammerSteve> Steve sings first, then Fred.

* Sun is a pagan....just kidding

<DJBarryHobbit> We care

<GHfan_Sam> This song... *sigh*  love it SO much!

<Fred_Schendel> I'm just a tiny bit on this one

<zotzz> agnostic here, not kidding

<GHfan_Sam> Tied with two others for #1 best ever song in the world!

<GHammerSteve> We're watching you too then zotzz! lol

<Sun> lol

<DJBarryHobbit> Cool singing NOW!

<GHammerSteve> That's a mellotron!

<GHfan_Sam> the coolest part comes a little later, but this part is cool as well, beyond all doubt....

<GHfan_Sam> *singing along*

<GHammerSteve> Here's me...

<Fred_Schendel> there's a song about that on the next album... at least acknowledging the question is the first step *g*

<GHfan_Sam> Go steve!

<Fred_Schendel> accckk ackowlto  acnowk-- you get the idea *lol*

<GHammerSteve> Fred here .... I made him sing it 4 times.  He got mad!

<GHfan_Sam> ha ha

<GHammerSteve> He's usually a one take singer.

<GHfan_Sam> Well, only the best, right?  and it sounds awesome!

<GHfan_Sam> yipes.  that's cool

<DJBarryHobbit> I like the singing

<DJBarryHobbit> Male and female!

<GHammerSteve> I'm a ten take singer.

<Fred_Schendel> I did??    I should have done it more

<GHammerSteve> <g>

<GHfan_Sam> heh... i'm like... 20?

<DJBarryHobbit> Nice keys here

<GHfan_Sam> and still not good?

<GHammerSteve> Ah - at last I'm on the keys.

<GHfan_Sam> best part!!

<GHfan_Sam> well, one of the best parts....

<GHammerSteve> Until the hammond solo that is.

<GHfan_Sam> i prefer vocals usually...

<zotzz> Barry, how am i going to follow your radio program tonight! After having 2 members of glass hammer, and 2 classic GH albums

<GHfan_Sam> Oh that is going to be awesome!!

<GHammerSteve> Fred on the moog.

<GHfan_Sam> K sorry, talking to myself and then you....

<Fred_Schendel> it's the hip-hop remix

<GHfan_Sam> lol

<Fred_Schendel> ;-)

<DJBarryHobbit> Heh Hip hop

<GHammerSteve> Mellotron.

<GHfan_Sam> *HACK*

<GHfan_Sam> that would be bad

<GHammerSteve> Steel

<GHfan_Sam> i hate hip hot just about as much as i hate country

<GHammerSteve> 8 string :)

<DJBarryHobbit> GH Hip Hoppin in the hizzouse

<GHfan_Sam> yay!

<GHammerSteve> Steve sings.

<DJBarryHobbit> I have Artifact

<DJBarryHobbit> Sang it Steve

<Fred_Schendel> the prizzouse *g*

<GHammerSteve> Then sings, Steve, Fred, Robert, Carrie and Sarah.

<GHfan_Sam> *singing along still*

<DJBarryHobbit> I'm singing over here

<DJBarryHobbit> HO

<Fred_Schendel> this is the culmination of my Steve Howe fetish, so-to-speak *lol*

<GHammerSteve> Fun to do this live!

<GHfan_Sam> no kidding!!

<Sun> use the steel with an old echoplex on the next cd

<Fred_Schendel> when I get an electric sitar i will be complete

<Fred_Schendel> it

<GHammerSteve> Get one!

<GHammerSteve> Rejoice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

<Fred_Schendel> I'd love to get another Echoplex- I need to check E-bay

<Sun> oh yeah....coral electric sitar

<GHfan_Sam> **blissful sigh**

<GHfan_Sam> *resonation*

<Fred_Schendel> Line 6 makes a modeler of that too *lol*

<zotzz> that would be cool

<Sun> I had one too long ago

<GHammerSteve> Here, in the live show , we break into Heaven from Perelandra.

<Fred_Schendel> but the real ones are awesome.  i used to have a Guild Copycat- similar idea

<DJBarryHobbit> I like the dramatic FX in the background

<GHfan_Sam> throw off the chains for the mortal is done away!  her heart is breaking, for joy unknown!

<GHfan_Sam> Some of my favorite lyrics ever from you

<Fred_Schendel> but you could splice your own tape for it- no cartridges

<GHfan_Sam> and anyone else, for that matter

<GHammerSteve> Goliath in the background here I think

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: Glass Hammer - Goodnight

<GHammerSteve> And a hobbit from the M.E. Album is laughing in the background.

<GHfan_Sam> it all becomes clear!

<DJBarryHobbit> Funky dramatic FX

<Fred_Schendel> sorry- tech babble *g*

<DJBarryHobbit> Cool

<DJBarryHobbit> Good night!

* Sun had one of the big Roland Chorus Echo units too but the Echoplex had a longer delay if I remember correctly

<GHammerSteve> I have fun doing these little bits of audio.

<GHfan_Sam> I can tell! ;)

<Fred_Schendel> and the slide-lever- that was the key!

<DJBarryHobbit> *Barry did not here Heroes and Dragons the first few times I heard Lex Rex*

* Sun loves the tech babble

<DJBarryHobbit> I thought the CD was over

<GHfan_Sam> second song tired for #1 song in the universe...

<DJBarryHobbit> *duh*

<GHfan_Sam> Sad!!!!!

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: Glass Hammer - Heroes And Dragons

<GHfan_Sam> I love this one so much

<GHammerSteve> Did your copy skip?  Some did.

<Fred_Schendel> we'll start a GH tech-babble forum *g*

<DJBarryHobbit> No skips

<DJBarryHobbit> Like this song a lot

<Sun> would love it

<GHammerSteve> Good!

<DJBarryHobbit> kinda ELP-ish

<DJBarryHobbit> Here

<GHammerSteve> This was written, lyrics first.

<GHammerSteve> Only one on the album.

<GHfan_Sam> fred, your voice is so perfect for this song - glad you didn't go with that other guy

<Fred_Schendel> tech-tip: we always mic acoustic guitar- never direct

<GHfan_Sam> the lyrics are the COOLEST!!!!!

<GHammerSteve> Thanks :)

<GHfan_Sam> I wrote them down and made a whole bunch of people read them

<GHfan_Sam> they were all impressed

<Fred_Schendel> awwww. thanks *blush*

<GHfan_Sam> :)

<GHammerSteve> Hope our agnostic friend read them! lol

<GHammerSteve> Well, we have just blabbed and blabbed!

<GHfan_Sam> They are totally tolkien level of awesomeness!

<DJBarryHobbit> Great message in this song!

<GHfan_Sam> ...blabbing?  what else are you supposed to do?

<DJBarryHobbit> Put down the dragon!

<GHfan_Sam> in a chat room?

<GHfan_Sam> Yes!

<GHammerSteve> I think it was important to end on this note.

<GHfan_Sam> Score!

<GHammerSteve> Inspired by a chapter from "Wild at Heart".

<GHfan_Sam> What's that?

<Sun> mankind has fallen and can't get up

<GHammerSteve> LOL!

<GHfan_Sam> **more resonations for sam**

<GHammerSteve> Wild at Heart is a 'men's book' by Eldridge.

<Fred_Schendel> good one Sun ;-)

<GHfan_Sam> aaah! *near heart attack from sudden talking*

<GHammerSteve> Christian book, new.

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: Glass Hammer - Good Evening

<Sun> aww fanks

<GHfan_Sam> enjoyed it?  rofl!  understatement!

<GHfan_Sam> yup

<GHfan_Sam> lol ;)

<GHammerSteve> Great radio voice.

<GHfan_Sam> hear hear!

<Sun> I told him he could go pro at a station

<GHammerSteve> 2

<Fred_Schendel> 2!

<Sun> he does have the voice

<GHammerSteve> one is out of print though :(

<GHfan_Sam> hee hee hee :)  *more warm fuzzies*

* Sun throws in some more lint so you can release it again....since you are talking about fuzzies

<Fred_Schendel> I'd kind of like to hear that ;-)

<GHfan_Sam> Fuzzies unite!

<GHfan_Sam> me too, but chronometree rocks more.

<zotzz> yes

<GHammerSteve> Mike, what's for dinner?

<Mike_n_Amy> Shepherds Pie!!!!

<GHammerSteve> What????

<Keith> Yum!

<Sun> lol

<GHammerSteve> First Christian CD?

<GHfan_Sam> does it have lint?

<GHammerSteve> I'll have a talk with Neal!

<GHfan_Sam> Christian is universal truth...

<GHfan_Sam> i mean, lotr and the silmarillion are the huge epic Christian fantasies...

* Sun is proud of Tennessee prog

<Fred_Schendel> kewl!!!

<zotzz> plug ftt to the guys

<GHammerSteve> Background?

<GHfan_Sam> YAY!

<GHfan_Sam> I know

<GHfan_Sam> for me, conversation is in the background

<Sun> Can we have another Yah!

<Fred_Schendel> this is an album about an organ sound *g*

<GHfan_Sam> Ill be talking, and then suddenly stop so i can sting along to my favorite part, and then resume my sentence later...

<GHammerSteve> We're hard on ourselves as vocalists.

<GHammerSteve> AIR EON

<GHfan_Sam> ah, but you're getting more and more awesome all the time!

<Fred_Schendel> the discovery of The Sound led to the album

<Fred_Schendel> in large part

<Fred_Schendel> part

<GHfan_Sam> oooh, i'm getting excited...

<DJBarryHobbit> Air Eon

<GHfan_Sam> yay!

<DJBarryHobbit> Got it!

<DJBarryHobbit> Enuff wid da yakkin

<Sun> backwards sounding guitar...very cool

<DJBarryHobbit> Time for da jams

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: Glass Hammer - All In Good Time - Empty Space / Revealer

<Fred_Schendel> the beginning is the end... backwards

<GHfan_Sam> ghfan.net update for the album title!

<GHfan_Sam> Yes, aristotle..... O.o

<GHammerSteve> Cool

<Sun> thanks for the little tidbit of info :)

<GHammerSteve> Jump on it Sam.

<GHfan_Sam> fwahahahah!

<Fred_Schendel> this sounds nothing like Tarkus, BTW ;-)

<GHammerSteve> Fred ROCKS!

<GHfan_Sam> Whooohooo!!!

<GHfan_Sam> i love this album.

<GHammerSteve> Arjen ROCKS!

<GHfan_Sam> yay!!!

<GHammerSteve> Arjen Lucassen from Holland.

<Fred_Schendel> yeah he did

<GHammerSteve> 4 string bass with an octave box.

<Fred_Schendel> there are about 5 guitarists on this album-- each did something very cool in their style

<GHfan_Sam> *is very tempted to sing along to the instruments*

<GHfan_Sam> Awesome bass

<Fred_Schendel> this album was a change from fake organ on the earlier albums back to the real thing... what a difference...

<GHammerSteve> We really liked Brad.  A controversial choice however.

<GHfan_Sam> I don't really like brad's voice, but it is totally perfect for this album.  awesome.

<GHfan_Sam> that was scary

<Sun> you used samplers?

<GHfan_Sam> i wrote that before you said that, steve

<GHammerSteve> That's the point I think.  It fit the album for us.

<GHfan_Sam> same thought waves

<GHfan_Sam> i can't imagine anyone else singing here

<Fred_Schendel> It was a Korg 01/W with a patch i did myself on the earlier albums

<GHammerSteve> Great minds you know.

<GHfan_Sam> natrlich :)

<GHammerSteve> Mike, email me a piece of Shepherd's Pie please.

<Fred_Schendel> We thought Brad had a 70's vibe which was the idea behind the album

<Sun> lol

<GHfan_Sam> really?

<GHfan_Sam> ;).

<GHammerSteve> Well, we thought so.

<GHfan_Sam> sam thinks so too

<GHammerSteve> He is a truly talented song writer.

<GHfan_Sam> i don't like perfect carousel

<GHammerSteve> He wrote Perfect Carousel.

<GHfan_Sam> to be honest

* Sun does

<GHfan_Sam> i know

<Fred_Schendel> We thought he sounded more emotional than we might

<GHammerSteve> It was one of the most popular songs though.

<Sun> it fits right in nicely like I mentioned before

<GHfan_Sam> :-p

<GHfan_Sam> yeah it does, and i can't see chronometree without it, but i dont like it that much

<Mike_n_Amy> we'll bring you some on Sept 22nd, Steve!

<GHammerSteve> Gotcha

<GHammerSteve> Bag it up and come on down!

<Fred_Schendel> this is me and terry Clouse from Somnambulist playing guitar

<GHammerSteve> Terry ROCKS!

<GHfan_Sam> I love this song

<DJBarryHobbit> Somnambulistic!

<Fred_Schendel> *lol*

<GHfan_Sam> ...and the next song.... and the next song... and the next song... and the next song...

<GHfan_Sam> but not the next one!

<Fred_Schendel> see- this is the intro the right way

<GHfan_Sam> ;)

<DJBarryHobbit> Sam, you must be a fan?

<DJBarryHobbit> =)

<GHfan_Sam> Ohhhhh!

<GHfan_Sam> Who  me?

<GHfan_Sam> Nah

<GHfan_Sam> *nah.

<DJBarryHobbit> How do you say Glass Hammer in Elvish?

<GHfan_Sam> I only listen to lex rex every day, made a whole fan website, and do all sorts of other gh terrorist type of activities

<GHfan_Sam> sindarin or quenya?

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: Glass Hammer - All In Good Time - An Eldritch Wind

<Fred_Schendel> this song has an instrument we've never used any other time to date:

<GHfan_Sam> in sindarin, Heled Dring

<Sun> harpsichord!

<GHammerSteve> Well, I think it was 97 or 98.

<GHfan_Sam> (sindarin)

<Mike_n_Amy> when Spock's Beard was there

<GHammerSteve> No, that's the one we cancelled.

<GHammerSteve> lol

<GHammerSteve> Fred is a true genius by the way.

* Sun knows this

<GHammerSteve> Arjen on guitar here.

<GHfan_Sam> Sam is not surprised

<Sun> all of you guys are genius....great playing and writing

<zotzz> agree

<GHfan_Sam> no kidding!

<GHammerSteve> Thanks.  I get much help from above.

<GHammerSteve> The songs that I wrote, that you guys usually like the best ...

<GHammerSteve> were all prayed for.

<Mike_n_Amy> I love this part!!!!

<GHfan_Sam> me too!

<GHammerSteve> This 'tale' is mostly a true one.

<Mike_n_Amy> It weirds out Amy though..

<Sun> Music especially prog is very spiritual in nature....

<GHammerSteve> Well, it should.

<GHammerSteve> I agree Sun.

<GHfan_Sam> especially cool with headphones

<GHfan_Sam> his voice going back and forth...

<GHammerSteve> The vocals are run through a Leslie cabinet.

<Sun> I thought it might be a flanger

<Sun> shows you how what you hear is not always right

<GHfan_Sam> ha - the one time in my life i actually know what you're talking about when it comes to equipment!

<GHammerSteve> Ha! 

<GHammerSteve> That's probably the only song we ever tried that on.

<Sun> very what is the word, majestic

<GHfan_Sam> that makes me think of TROGDOR

<Sun> you have captured that

<DJBarryHobbit> I love the Leslie

<GHfan_Sam> (www.homestarrunner.com thing)

<DJBarryHobbit> I have a leslie effect on me amp

<GHammerSteve> You wouldn't like it if it was stored in your garage though!

<DJBarryHobbit> I have a Danelectro Psycho flange

<DJBarryHobbit> HOHOHO in the garage!

<Sun> how old is that pedal barry?

<GHfan_Sam> Ok, i give up

<GHammerSteve> There's no room to park the car due to the equipment!

<GHfan_Sam> Never gonna understand that

<Sun> my first was a mxr flanger

<GHammerSteve> And its a two car garage.

<GHfan_Sam> yipes

<DJBarryHobbit> It is fairly new Sun

<GHfan_Sam> and how much of it did you have to drag to trenton?

<DJBarryHobbit> Danelectro is making stuff again

<Sun> cool

<DJBarryHobbit> My GEEEEtar is a Danelectro too

<GHammerSteve> This is a true story about a guy named Tom from long ago.

<DJBarryHobbit> With built-in FX

<GHammerSteve> Want to know the scary part?

<GHfan_Sam> yeah

<DJBarryHobbit> Yeah Steve?

<Sun> they make a reissue of the danelectro coral electric sitar now too I think

<GHammerSteve> He hadn't spoken with Fred in 20 years.

<GHammerSteve> Then, on the very day our album came out -

<GHammerSteve> He signed our guest book.

<GHfan_Sam> woah, dude

<DJBarryHobbit> Who sings that last song...sorry if I missed it!

<GHammerSteve> It was TOM!

<DJBarryHobbit> Wow!

<DJBarryHobbit> Great story

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: Glass Hammer - All In Good Time - Chronotheme

<GHfan_Sam> private entry?

<GHammerSteve> He did google searches on Chronometry and found us!

<GHammerSteve> Brad sings most of it.

<GHfan_Sam> let's see, that would be april 25, 2000?

<GHammerSteve> Real entry.

<GHammerSteve> DO NOT EMAIL HIM Sam!

<GHfan_Sam> I know!.3

<GHfan_Sam> *halo*

<GHfan_Sam> I will just read the entry

<GHammerSteve> Okay, maybe not the exact day.  But close.

<GHfan_Sam> that was the day, though right?

<GHfan_Sam> o am i mixing it up with the day that it was supposed to come out?

<GHammerSteve> He thought he could here the words "Heed this message Tom", in a Yes album.

<GHfan_Sam> because there was that nasty two week delay thing...

<GHammerSteve> We did put it in our album.

<GHfan_Sam> which yes album?

<GHammerSteve> Awaken on Going For The One

<Sun> must be the song awaken

<GHfan_Sam> I love that song!!!!

<Sun> jon does mutter several things

<GHfan_Sam> That's my favorite yes song because it reminds me of Heaven

<GHfan_Sam> ^_^

<GHfan_Sam> your song, i mean

<GHammerSteve> I do to.  That song was inspired by Calvin Miller's book - The Singer Trilogy.

<GHammerSteve> I got to meet Calvin Miller.

<GHfan_Sam> Who's he?

<GHammerSteve> Baptist writer and professor.

<GHfan_Sam> ah

<GHammerSteve> Theologian

<Sun> I always thought I heard jon say "play by yourself" on awaken too....but who knows

<GHfan_Sam> not surprised i've never heard of him then

<GHfan_Sam> that's cool

<GHammerSteve> Calvin didn't know about Awaken, but was proud to have inspired a Reba McIntyre song.

<GHammerSteve> lol

<Sun> lol

<GHammerSteve> Well, Barry - I have blabbed a lot.  I hope it wasn't too much.

<Sun> blab on

<DJBarryHobbit>   Now Playing: Glass Hammer - A Perfect Carousel

<GHammerSteve> You guys are too quiet.  I need to hear from you now :)

<Sun> now notice how this fits perfectly going into the next song

* Sun likes this a lot

<GHfan_Sam> lol

<GHammerSteve> We did a video of this.

<GHammerSteve> Brad play and sang the track live to one track.

* Sun saw this on video

<GHammerSteve> Or two as the case may be.

<Sun> he looks rather young

* Mike_n_Amy is now known as Kuhls_Eating_Pie

<Sun> or is it I am getting old?

<GHammerSteve> He's around 27 now I think.

<GHfan_Sam> he sings rather strangely

<DJBarryHobbit> Ohhhh pie!

<Sun> ah then I know it's me

<DJBarryHobbit> Pie is goooooood!

<GHammerSteve> I need pie.

<GHfan_Sam> through his teeth

<GHammerSteve> Lint pie please...

<Sun> nice swirly organ here

<Sun> it is like a carousel

<GHammerSteve> Fred on the organ, Steve on the tron and moogs.

<Sun> love the moog sound too

<GHfan_Sam> hmm... i see no "tom"-like entries in your guestbook... looking on page 16 and 17

<GHammerSteve> Well, that would be even scarier.  Cause he signed it!

<GHfan_Sam> unless he's bonzo the clown

<DJBarryHobbit> Are good friend Zotzz is going to let me go a tad long tonight

<Sun> thank you greg!

<DJBarryHobbit> So we can finish Chronometree in it's entirety
