    Ah yes, "The Awakening"! Hmm...Did you know that Les Claypool DID NOT write that song? Dexter Redding (a virtuoso slapper), and member of the band, The Reddings, wrote and recorded that song in the late 70's-early 80's! I can't stand the fact that Les Claypool is being recognized for a song he didn't create!! Furthermore, Dexter would 'slap' Les silly! ;)

    I'm cool! You get points for knowing what's up!;) I just can't stand Les Claypool! I wonder if Dexter gets a check everytime Les plays it??!!
