    Hi All,

    On the cut by King Britt/Sylk 130 called 'Seasons
    Change', you can hear the cuica in the beginning part
    of the music. BTW, get a Coke from McDonalds, slide
    the straw back + forth, and you get the gist of how
    the cuica works. Not that I'm endorsing Coke or
    McDonalds, but that's just an example.

    Take Care-----Paul Berger---
