Speaking of succubi and incubi ("bi" is plural in Latin), Here's a piece I did in 1990 entitled "Incubus" using a Korg T3 synthesizer and an Ensoniq EPSM sampler.

Happy Halloweenie!!

I knew you'd like it Jenn! You Goth you!! :-)

How "Germanic"!

I dated a goth girl about thirteen years ago. She was an amazing person. Tough as nails and sexy as hell. Unfortunately she suffered from depression. She may have been manic. When she went into a funk, she was impossible to reach. She was also very bright and amazingly charismatic. One day she began to warn everybody that she was planning to commit suicide and she meant it. This girl never minced words or played games. She was a veterinary technician and had access to euthanasia. She put herself down with that and Jack Daniels. She was only 32 when she died.

I'm glad you appreciate my stuff. Not many people do. Then again, not that many people appreciate a guy like David Lynch either.

I know this may sound weird: She buzzed me a few times from the great beyond after she passed on. A number of people have.

But only in the purest sense of the word.

The combination Gothic romance represents a union of two of the major influences in the development of European culture, the Roman Empire and the Germanic tribes that invaded it. The Roman origins of romance must be sought in the etymology of that word, but we can see clearly that Gothic is related to the name Goth used for one of those invading Germanic tribes. The word Gothic, first recorded in 1611 in a reference to the language of the Goths, was extended in sense in several ways, meaning "Germanic," "medieval, not classical," "barbarous," and also an architectural style that was not Greek or Roman. Horace Walpole applied the word Gothic to his novel The Castle of Otranto, a Gothic Story (1765) in the sense "medieval, not classical." From this novel filled with scenes of terror and gloom in a medieval setting descended a literary genre still popular today; from its subtitle descended the name for it.

I have good instincts about this stuff!

Have you met Boomer's wife, Kerry? She's a kindred spirit!

Are you going to the benefit tomorrow? I'm thinking that she'll probably be there.

Oh....Rude Toys! Say hi to Tam for me!

Hmmmmm...........I liked "Rude Toys". That name had more impact and was catchy.

Oh, I see.

It's just that changing a name is almost like having to start over.
