this piece of yellow-gold vinyl is 'a tour totem' of a 1998 one-off project by a (said to be) experimental guitar virtuoso, a bassist and a drummer. it was recorded afterwards, in january 1999, and judging from this only material which is available i think the shows have been experimental indeed. and very instrumental: the short text of the title track rather is spoken than sung.

the program included a re-make of A CARROT IS AS CLOSE AS A RABBIT GETS TO A DIAMOND, one of the instrumentals from doc at the radar station. as there never seems to be a piano player around, as usual this cover version is a guitar solo. the guitarist plays the tune convincingly precise, however some raw string touchings disturb the quality just a little bit too often for a perfect rendition. but it sure is close to it.
