Who is the Prince of Darkness? What are you talking about? Why did the guy who played Tiny's Con need you to transcribe it? I'm so confused....

50% of it is, yes. No musical talent, huh? Well, as Groucho Marx once said: "Outside of a dog, a book is your best friend, and inside of a dog, it's too dark to read" I had a cat...
