[kj] Jonesy's Jukebox

[Alexander Smith]

I have huge respect for Youth, but I have to say -- when I saw him  
play with the `Joke in `94 (circa PANDEMONIUM), he looked like a Dr.  
Seuss character -- big silly hat, a vest with no shirt and a kilt and  
bare feet. He'd have looked more at home in the ranks of the Ozric  
Tentacles or Gong or someone like that.
