This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown. Turn off your subwoofers and listen on a cheap transistor radio. The emotional pull changes completely. -- Matthias Pérez Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.
