     I agree.  And furthermore, IMO, Imaginos will keep.  No point in rushing into it.

     I don't see why tBS can't touch on Imaginos, skirt around it--rather like BOC did at times.  But Imaginos doesn't seem like a project for any one _band_, rather a random access musical project.  If a second Imaginos album were to come out, I think it would be better if it was made by a consortium of musicians rather than a touring ensemble.  That's closer (whether by accident or design) to how the original one happened and (musically if not commericially) it worked quite well.

     :)  Not that a gig will get set there in the next month though, I suppose.  I still smart from being snowed away from the January 96 NYC gig ...

     Will they be showing _Xena_ first?  :)

Cheers,
