When you are playing with Haverstick's group and you do an inpressive solo,
he is apt to compliment you by saying "That was hilarious!"

Especially when doing one of *your* songs, right John?

I mean this totally as a compliment: when listening to your
two songs on the Tuning List CD, my attention has been attracted
so strongly by the interesting music that I never really paid
much attention to the words until very recently. _Citified
Notions_ *is* ABSOLUTELY AND TOTALLY HILARIOUS!! Sort of a
warped microtonal version of the 'Green Acres' Theme.

I didn't mean to sound *too* upset by Joe's comment... it's just
that it really was a *LOT* of tedious work. It probably took
the Beatles less time to write and record the song than it did
for me to retune it...
