Every time I see this thread updated I check in to see if it's some news that Neal has come to his senses and there's going to be another Beard album with the classic lineup. I've never really understood why, after all this time, he's not gone back to it. As much as he's done worthwhile work since, SB is the best. Even TA doesn't touch it for me.
Also, the SB forum was great - and the backbone of this forum!
