I remember admiring him playing the saxophone bending backwards till his back almost touched the ground and with that heavy body too. Thanks a lot for the post man.

Dawit and Nol that was actually very funny. Nol, I did mean Punk and not Funk, because of Getachew's colaboration with The Ex Band, a Punk band. I guess there is a slight resembelance betwen Getachew wering the gofer and cloak with George Clinton. :) As for the CD, unfortunately I have not seen it around here (The DC area). Amazon and iTunes don't carry it. The Ex's website does have it for sale but the process is quite complicated and archaic. Dinich, I love your idea opening up to new things. I, on the other hand have a little ways to go. I mean I've gotten better but not there yet. :) Thanks everyone for your comments!
