Inspired by the original Simmo41 thread that was inspired by another forum thread that stole the idea from Rollin Tones magazine, which has sailed on the coattails of artist’s who where inspired by the nature of nature that was inspired by the main man upstairs, otherwise known as the alpha and omega, the king of king’s, the ruler of rulers, the overseer of all that exists, the mightiest of the mighty, the glory above all glories, the one which is at one with everything, the muse of all music, the rhythm behind all beats, the dotted i in every i, the crossed t in every t, and on & on & on. Phew!!!
