BOC: Immaginos and his doctor sauce.

  Yeah, I know.  I'm just becoming more and more edgy about being
slipped hints here and there from across 25 or so years and we're really
so far away from seeing any more than a hemline of the whole cloak of
stars.
  Mr Bouchard is certainly holding the flag high (one the BOC have
shunned) from tBS stuff I've heard, but as you say, it's Sandy's baby.
To quote the Spinal Tap movie..."Currently residing in the 'Where Are
they Now' file...".
  It's all a little like reading that book by Umberto Eco, "Foucault's
Pendulum".

I'll agree that the original feeling and groove (in all senses) could
not be duplicated.  But look at what Albert's doing with tBS.  It's not
trying to regain past glories, it's new.

More later.
Good Health to you.
Chris.
