man....
no sooner had i sorted out the problem (of having a dodgy, brand new, meter), i had to shoot off to a hallowe'en party........ only having time to listen to 2 full tracks...... no-one at the party seemed very interested in what i had been trying to build the last few days, or at all sympathetic to the fact that i just wanted to get back home and listen to..... i don't know...... pearl jam now, bit of john lennon when i got in......... kinks are calling for my attention..... so are the small faces....... maybe some four tops after that........... its going to be a very long, amazing night........
thanks to everyone who helped me.
can't wait for the next project.
