| Simply for the fact that I am an annoying nitpicker, let me clarify "the invocation". The writer was Ken Millar, an English major who wrote poems and essays. But his novels (notably the Lew Archer series which is one of the all time best in the genre) were written using the pen name of Ross MacDonald. It appears in the novel The Chill. Curiously, the poem has no title. I realize no one has felt the earth shake with this but I do like to be precise as possible. (Yes, I am known to screw up on occasion but in this instnce I can shine. :>) The Count > > I've never heard the remaster so I can't comment on it. > The problem I have with the album, in general, is all of > the little interludes ie.
