about

There are 285 Rules of Acquisition though many remain a mystery. If this incompletion upsets you, recall Rule 19: “satisfaction is not guaranteed.” Just ask a Dabo girl.

lyrics

Over the years spinnin’ the Dabo wheel
I learned a couple lessons
A deal is a deal is a deal
Oho, for a Ferengi it’s a steal

Gotta fill this requisition
By the Rules of Acquisition, oho

Once you have their money you never give it back
Your dignity and an empty sack is only worth the sack
Oho, keep a Ferengi coming back

I don’t want an inquisition
Just the Rules of Acquisition, oho

The bigger the smile
The sharper the knife
Greed is eternal and every man has his price
Oho, for a Ferengi this is life

There’s no free your inhibitions
In the Rules of Acquisition, oho

There is no profit without the risk
Remember that women and money should never ever mix
Oho, it’s a Ferengi wish list

Feedin’ business and ambition
With the Rules of Acquisition, oho
I think I’ve laid out my position
On the Rules of Acquisition, oho

You can be a politician
Or creative mathematician
With a latinum commission
And a less-than-legal mission
If you promise your submission
To the Rules of Acquisition, oho

Basin’ all of your decisions
On the Rules of Acquisition, oho
Amen

Mischief
by S. J. Tucker

Mischief was my introduction to the spellsongcraft of S.J. Tucker who builds sonic story sculptures with such precision and grace of motion that I am borne up on her bright beating wings of wonder. Leslie Hudson

Stolen Season

A silky, smooth, sultry voice weaving lyrical imagery upon a canvas of exquisite tonal contours. Immensely pleasurable. The bouncy cheer of " Little Bird" is a delightful contrast to the dusky jazz groove of this truly beautiful album. Much gratitude for you S J ! roddylloyd
