Comment:

A Jewish father was troubled by the way his son turned out, and went to see his Rabbi about it. "I brought him up in the faith, gave him a very expensive bar mitzvah, cost me a fortune to educate him. Then he tells me last week he has decided to be a Christian! Rabbi, where did I go wrong?"

"Funny you should come to me," said the Rabbi. "Like you I, too, brought my boy up in the faith, put him through University, cost me a fortune, then one day he, too, tells me he has decided to become a Christian."

"What did you do?" asked the father.

"I turned to God for the answer" replied the Rabbi.

"And what did he say?" pressed the father. "God said, 'Funny you should come to me...' "

Love the title. This looks quite intriguing. The artists I know (YMG, Jorn, DickDale, Coleman) I dig, so I bet I'd like rest of this.

Gott in himmel! Such a fortune Mixxer and I spent on your musical education, and this is the mishagash you listen to!

But don't worry, I just sit here and listen to it. It'll be something to do with myself while I wait for you to call.
