0:53.4	I'm speaking directly to you guys for the first time.
0:54.6	In a little bit,
0:59.4	I've been covering the M72 tour, doing the metal tales from the road, as you all know,
1:04.4	and, uh, man, was on the road with the Lambsmoor set for two and a half months. We just got back on tour, been making records, producing for people. We're about to go to South Africa. Life has been super busy over here, but I didn't want you guys to think I forgot about you. I think about you all the time. Love you guys.

Well, both of my friends Clark and Cassandra, who are here based in Nashville, who worked for Ampar X. They're going to be covering weekend two. But Edgar and I, we talked about sort of the common criticisms of the M72 stage and the sound.
