Welcome to the Auto Body Estimate, an appraisal of damage from the planetary headquarters of paranormal car repair. For the uninitiated of you, The Auto Body Experience is traveling rock group dedicated to faith healing ailing Volkswagons and producing merriment in the hearts of bar-goers. This group features Tom Hambleton (keyboards), David King (drums), Pete Linman (bass), and Scott Yoho (that's me) on guitar. Yoho is, of course, a pirate name and I am a descendant of an insecure eye-patch-toting seafarer who was sure that every "Aye, aye, captain!" was a personal attack. Speaking of attacks, let's hope this Middle East thing is over. I've noticed that even the thought of a draft can cause aggravation among young asthma sufferers... And another thing troubling me, do citizens of Iraq consider their neighborhood the middle east, or the mid-central?

I'd like to thank everyone who has come out to see us in the last few months, as we get this big wooden bird off the ground. Thanks. Hey, in a devious scheme designed to help finance our up coming CD, we're selling some slick Auto Body T-shirts. They feature a tasteful logo (see other side) on the front and a garish photo/logo on the back. All this and 100% heavy cotton too. These are now available at our gigs or by mail for ten bucks! (We'll pay the postage!) So write to our return address today for yours, or see us at one of these swell gigs. In the meantime, here's hoping you'll find eight CD's you'd actually want for a penny...

Love, Scott, Gizmo & The Experience
