In lieu of someone making an unforeseen brilliant post, I think it's one of those things that has to be demonstrated to be understood. Go find yourself an instructor that knows how to do it (and good luck finding one -- they're rare). But if you can't find an instructor, allow me to suggest push-pul...

How about a Dave DiCenso photo addition to the HOD banner? I think he's earned it.

The intensity is one I don't think was often captured in a CCEB studio recording. You usually had to go see them live to understand how th...

Coolio. If you move here we'll have enough Zonies to have our own legitimate HOD hang.
