[kj] killing joke for orchestra

[sade1]

   I'm still waiting for Jer' to score some classical for KJ to
perform. And they'll need an orchestra precisely because Geordie
won't be there.
  
   They mixed just fine w/Phloyd and Zeppelin. Kashmir and
Symphonic Phloyd were not bad at all. Actually were quite good
and did the music justice from a different angle. I don't think
Jaz did any breast augmentation to the original materials, just
shot it thru a different prism-filter-lens-choose your metaphor.

About jumping the shark? Usually not if Jaz takes a crack at it,
it'll stand a chance. 
(i didn't like the Doors Concierto,
 and havent heard the Stones')

As the masters rot on walls
And the angels eat their grapes
I watched picasso 
visit the planet of the apes
