[kj] OT Firewater

[Christof hamille]

Oh that is such a shame.

Now I do not know the history of JetSet but isn't Tod's girlfirend/wife 
somehow involved?  Or a manger or something?  I am glad he is staying active 
and has such a great oppurtunity but it is a shame that Firewater fire kind 
of smoldered and then went out instead of a bright white light (more like 
Cop Shoot Cop, which even then was not as grande as it should have been).  I 
am sure he would have a good go at soundtrack work.
Well if you converse with him and it is appropriate let him know that there 
are several people in the Detroit, MI area that will miss his music and wish 
him well.

Thanks Alex

Chris
