I didn't know WHFS was going to be there, my boyfriend and I just happened to be wandering around Georgetown that day and could never pass up going into a music store and there was Weasel!

In the DC area, "The Gamut," which I have on now in the next room, comes really close to sounding like WHFS. mahatmakanejeeves Jan 14 #7
