    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":
