HW observation

[Jonathan Smith]

A shame the record deal fell through! I didn't know MOAB still existed, but
probably not very good anymore.:) I wouldn't have guessed the drummer had
only rehearsed for two hours!

I thought there might be more MOAB racks because of the review on
Starfarer's web site:

http://www.starfarer.net/solowrks18.html

They mention *Bad, Spark in the Dark,  Negative, Positive, Drain Cleaner
Truck, Sanity, Ooh, My Heart. but they must be the live tracks.*

The hyperbole is funny but contains some truth.;) The Ron Tree
solo tracks which have appeared are not very good.
