   I can now die in peace, having seen a happy man with an episcopal collar, a pocket handkerchief, and a GIANT BIBLE, advocating pool parties with djs!!!

   That's my BCP, not a bible. Glad you got a kick out of it Mr. Hammer. Did you spot the sunglasses on my t-shirt? 😉

   John, this is great. Have you done any of your own editing/mixing? I've been messing around with FruitLoops 9 lately; have you tried it (or an equivalent)? They have a free download, and though you can't save projects until you buy, I think it is a great way to become familiar with most of their tools.

   I think Mike Francis is great.
   Let's have more Mike Francis.
   (His death left a pretty big hole.)

   John, this mix is perfect. I hear some hot synth. Bass-line heaven on "Keep the lights on".

   The pool has never been rocked like this before (or at least since '83)!

   No mixing to speak of Dylan. But three of the tracks are shortened a bit. Another nice free program is Audacity.

    What about E"disco"pool party? No mention I know of such in either the law or the prophets.
