         I AM NOT SURE WHERE TO BEGIN--OR HOW TO END THIS BRIEF DESCRIPTION THAT ENCAPSULATES WHAT HELPED SHAPE THE MAN I WAS TO BECOME GROWING UP.  THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE ITEMS TO ME IS SUCH THAT YOU CANNOT PUT A PRICE TAG ON; BUT I HAVE HAD A MEDICAL CRISIS AND WE ALL DO WHAT WE MUST TO SURVIVE, RIGHT (JUST LIKE GERARD SANG ON "KILL ARE YOUR FRIENDS":"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE/DO WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE/'CAUSE I'M STILL HERE).  I MISS THIS BAND MORE THAN ANYTHING...BUT ANYWAY, I'LL SHUT UP NOW AND GET TO THE ITEM DESCRIPTIONS.  I AM A VERY TRUSTED AND VALUED SELLER, SO REST ASSURED YOU WILL BE SATISFIED, OR I WILL MAKE SURE TO CORRECT WHATEVER ISSUE IS HINDERING THAT SATISFACTION.  PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT MAY ARISE.  POSITIVE FEEDBACK IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED, ENCOURAGED, AND RECIPROCATED.  LAST OF ALL, GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL, AS THIS LOT WAS MY CHILDHOOD, MY BEST MEMORIES, AND AT TIMES--MY SALVATION.
