After a particularly uninteresting two days, I discover a review of the Free French CD on the net. Which makes me feel a lot better about everything. I've never been described as “sassy” before. Although I guess they were describing my voice, rather than my general persona. Which is more gassy, than sassy.

Then while browsing I came upon “the official site” of this band. As if there's going to be any unofficial ones. I particularly like the composition of the main photo, an interesting choice to put the attractive woman at the front, and the gargoyle-like musicians a few steps behind her. I won't encourage you to explore the site further, but I encountered the following reference to the bass player: “Andy puts the funk in Chione and likes to create the most interesting bass lines and sounds. His fat sound and funky playing style make it hard to stand still!” But make it very easy to run crying from the room.
