Al,
Is the Pro Junior a tube or tranny?  Doesn't seem like you could get
a tube amp [of any size] at that price.  How did Don get such
distortion out of a Twin?  Just crank the shit out of it, or did he
use stomp boxes ahead?  Have you tried slaving from the Boogie?  It
sounds amazing when you run a slave line into a clean amp, like an
old Fender.  All the tone controls interact that way.  Change the
treble on the slaved-into amp, and the tone on the slaving amp
changes!  Way cool.

And what's this about a new Surgeons' disc?  How far along are you?
Demo stage or beyond?  Themes? Sample lyrics?  Song titles?
