    Notes

    This was recorded (at my house) about a year after Jon quit. We were still sore at Jon leaving. Really sore. Sorry about the lyrics. The cool thing is Luke's guitar.

    I'm guessing that I was using my Yamaha SY55 by this point. I had bought it back in 1990, so the timeframe fits. You can hear the split keyboard, which is something I couldn't have done on my old Casio. Maybe I was using Luke's, but I have the feeling I was on the SY55.

    How Ya Is'n (4)

    This was the final performance of "How Ya Is'n".

    Man, what bitterness. For about a year, our motif was making fun of Jon. I had to censor this for the web. Very harsh!

    The nice thing is Luke's guitar work. Too bad nobody will ever hear it!

    Lyrics to "How Ya Is'n (4)":

    TRAV:
  this is the master anchovies
  trying to show jon that we don't need him
  this is a very short version of the rap

INTRO:
  and it tastest a little something like fish
  hit it!
  5,4,3,2,1, and

VERSE 1:
  cruisin' down the street i got to the place
  where the weirdos hang out and i got my mace ready
  for an incident 'cause you never know
  what a blind quadroplegic morphodite might show you

  i kept my distance from the darkest alley
  where the schitzofrentic ninjas were having a rally
  i heard a noise and i turned around
  who had made that sound?

[the following is heavily censored]

VERSE:
  ??? to the place
  where the weirdos come from
  and he looked around a little more
  and we picked up the tempo
  'cause we don't need jon

  yeah!

VERSE:
  ???
  and then, and then
  we got back together
  and tried to play
  some anchovies
  some day
  before graduation
  before we all went off to school
  and we left out jon
  ??? so cool

  and ???
  and we are cool
  and here's allen on the drums
  allen can solo
  here's allen

    Jon Sucks

    Man, this is a mean song. The music is great fun, though. Luke's guitar work is inspiring, and my keyboard solos are wild.

    The song gets cut off at the end, which really sucks (no pun intended). It was really cool while it lasted. Too bad I have to censor it!

    Lyrics to "Jon Sucks":

    ANAND:
  jon sucks
  jon sucks...

TRAV:
  jon sucks
  jon sucks...

[heavily censored]

  here's allen

ALLEN:
  ooooooh [sings scat]
  do re mi fa so li ti do

TRAV:
