I got a cd burner for christmas with the built in copy of Toast but I

yet to try it on my Maharaj tapes. I have about 13 hours of tapes. The

sound of Maharaj's voice is quite incredible, raucous, sharp. One of

the things about Maharaj was the incredible energy and speed which the

words came out of his mouth. Where do you live Tim, I presently live in

Santa Cruz, CA. I suppose I could mail you the tapes but then again,

they are very precious to me.

Lets talk more soon.

Also the body shop was below and to the side of Maharaj's place. I

didn't really notice it was a body shop until I saw some photos of the

front of the place. But it always sounded like a body shop, banging out

dents. Goodnight!
