madness.

the song, pine canyon from walt whitman's sampler gave me an idea - loosely write a full-length comedy album based on the story. over the period of a few weeks, we'd employ various friends in the process and the results are below. one track is missing: the heart attack and psychotic meltdown of jerry aldini in an ambulance. it was recklessly recorded by me directly to 2-track and over time that cassette disappeared. so if you're one of the few who has a copy of the original mix, please let me know so i can add it.
