You shameful proud father, you...grin. How dare you??? By the way, when will the CD be available? Any ideas yet? I take it you have one of those roof microphone thingies. Did Michael build it for you or did you? And do you record the songs or just listen in? I have to admit that I seem to be overcome by the electronics, so far. Maybe Michael could put together a nice commercial line of "Overhead Migration Microphones?" Tell him I would be pleased to purchase the first one off the production line! Best, Norm P.S.
