 Hey, I've updated the HOT GEAR section (under the Main Menu in the upper left of your screen) which features a few products from the Musician's Friend online catalog. I didn't really like the lame descriptions for the gear so I've re-written them for those with my droll sensibility. So even if you're flat broke and have no plans to purchase gear online, you might still find it an amusing read. Happy window shopping! - Mitch

 Stricken with performance anxiety and writer's block, Editor Mitch Phillips decides to rediscover music on his own terms - again. In two short stories, "The Special Bubble" and "Panic and The Performance" he finds more than one excuse to pick up his instruments again.

| HUMOR: Heroin Declared ''Unhealthy'' |
|
PostMortimer writes 
Here’s some health news you might find surprising: despite a recent resurgence in use among Americans, a recreational drug known as heroin has been found to be harmful, according to researchers at the Noe-Schitt Institute of the Obvious (NSIO).
The opiate, also known as “horse,” “junk” and “Sweet Lady H” enjoyed widespread popularity some three and four decades ago, but fell out of favor for many years, being replaced by cocaine, LSD and other more easily available substances.
