Rat, thank you.
I am trying to spend less time on the interwebz but there are some stacks that keep me tuning on on certain days of the week. I look for your World Entertainment Friday (the good WEF), the SimulationCommander brightens my Mondays, and the snarkiest of all, El Gato Malo, is responsible for all sorts of inappropriate laughter on Sundays.
That oud is amazing. With a wah pedal, no less!
