Ha, ha!  Of course I had you in mind, Marek, when I wrote that some wouldn't
like it at all!  :>
That's ok.  Everyone to their own.  However, you can't say such a band plays
"mayhem".  They are tight, tight, tight!  Modern, yes.  Showy, yes.  But,
certainly not mayhem.

The amazing thing is the amount of OKOM songs Shorty puts into his concerts.
Granted, he puts a different slant to the tunes, but he is still respecting
the older songs.  Listen to him "tipping his hat" to Louis Armstrong on
Youtube on "Sunny Side of the Street".

Cheers, Jim
