Has anyone ever heard Spock's Beard? I've been a big fan for a couple of years and I can't get over the sounds that Dave Meros comes up with. He's also really creative with all that movement. What do you guys think? |

Yeah, they have talked about before around here. See what a search on Spock's Beard turns up.

BTW: Spock may refer to Dr. Benjamin Spock, the pediatrician. I'm sure he had a beard!
