"For your pleasure in our present state

Part false, part true, like anything

We present ourselves" 

*LAST is the final offering in the 20th year of RFW,

 with FIRST being the start of our 21st.

On September 30th, 2006,

I hatched a dream based on my belief that there were others out there like you:

Intelligent-Adventurous-Music Lovers

that understand that we know "the hits" because someone else picked them out for us

and others drove them into the ground playing them ad infinitem,
and it continues to this day.

Here, Hal and I steal them back and dress them with new line-partners.

My search was and continues to be for You.

Thanks for your ears - Let's Rock On!

 Most of all, Tony is a Very Good Man.

"and your infections can be cured by

* We lost one Boston's favorite sons with the passing of Jeff "Monoman" Conolly.
He was rock & roll in it's purest form and a friend for over 50 years.
Let's sprinkle some sawdust on the studio floor,
play some DMZ and Lyres
and I'll use our energy to speed-up my recent surgical recovery
(all is good, thank you).

"I feel like I'm goin' outta my mind"

*Cognitive Dissonance is the psychological tension that arises
when an individual holds two or more conflicting
cognitions—attitudes, beliefs or behaviors—simultaneously.
This mental discomfort drives people to subconsciously resolve
the tension by changing their beliefs, justifying their actions or
 ignoring the conflicting information, which often causes
a downward spiraling effect.
Sound familiar?

"look at us, but do not touch"

*In Greek mythology, Phaedra was the daughter of Minos and Pasiphaë,

wife of Theseus, sister of Ariadne,

and the mother of Demophon of Athens and Acamas.

Her name derived from the Greek word φαιδρός,

which translates to bright.
