Thanks, Paul.

 

This IS good, amusing reading - so far I've only read a bit about him receiving neighbours' complaints after building a huge horn speaker in his Santa Monica garage... ha ha

And the police! Yep, I wonder if he got a two door garage when stereo came along....

Nice find. He's an entertaining guy. His use of XYL for the trouble and strife is amusing; it's apparently an acronym for "ex-young lady". And cattywampus? What a word. It means apparently at all sorts of odd angles. A fun read.
