[NewMusic] Marco Eneidi's Animal Farm

[Damon Smith]

Yes, but showing up to a situation like that with a shakuhachi and 
expecting everyone to come down for you is not realistic. Ideally I 
should have have been Spirit and two acoustic basses, it wasn't so we 
had amps. In Vinnie's big band, we had no amps, and that didn't work 
either.
