we have many many many many guest musicians of which may or may not be at any one time members of stiffs incorporated heretofore above mentioned unmentionables.
We are also welcoming anyone with fresh money-making ideas into the studio.
I am also pursuing something that some refer to as a hightened state of being; but I call it beef curtain. Beef curtain may or may not include present or ex-members of groups with names like stiffs incorporated and/or coke. Beef curtain is NOW. Beef curtain ingredients: contains one cocky raccoon, one very busy goose, and a mane-shaking jingle-horse. Batteries included, but never needed.
Mr. Sterling and I will be contributing to soundtrack to upcoming film JACK THE RIPPER (Chambermade 2002). Members of stiffs incorporated may or may not have very very small cameos in said film.
Mr. Sterling and I also plan to explore the avenue of filmmaking very very soon.
We hope to have more information as this very exciting story unfolds. Thank you for your time and cooperation.
Heretofore from now on please refer to me as
