Sounds> like a case of too-hyped-up-to-sleep-after-a-show syndrome!You caught me - I was up trying to find my googles and flippers?> Thanks for your interest in "Surfin' Girlfriend" -> in brief, it was written 3 years ago by David Cohen (yes, my little> brother) and Daniel Gunzburg and performed in two seasons at the Blue> Room. The first was Artrage and it was so popular that they (the writers> and cast) decided to give it another run just for the fun of it!

It must be a problem with there inner microphone that distorts and filters out the less tuneful bits before it comes out of their brain speakers? - As they honestly believe they are great singers? - It must be really disheartening!!!> Cheers, JenniThanks Jeni - If I don't get there, I'll catch it on video or CD (CVD?)please advise when it is available - Get in quick as Cameron Mackintosh is pullin up sticks and leaving, so I beleive?TOI TOI TOI CHOOKASJoe McCabe
