Well, well let's think about this one for a moment...Larry, have you ever heard
the phrase "Quality not quantity"? I can think of several artists who have
done a lot in a short period of time but that doesn't gurantee quality--
usually it all turns out to be pretty blah (Yes Larry, I can think of
examples of groups that have done a lot of great stuff in a short period
of time--so don't bother saying "Well so and so put out x no. of thing
in a year and it was all great.--oh i'm sorry Larry--I guess I should
explain that I want you to fill in a group name for "so and so"--otherwise
you'll be bitching about me making references to obscure groups again :-))

Larry, I figured that out--it's not that difficult--I'll mail to you
about it. (No I'm not joking--I just have to remember it--it's been awhile
since I figured it out)
