Nick Bensen IV (ZoSo; Four Symbols; Untitled; The Fourth Album; Runes)
(BE20006)

What? ZoSo was my sled ... and runes look cool. Who's Ted Zeppington? Never heard of him. I don't recall tactfully stowing away nine copies of ANY popular 1971 prog metal LP in my closet as guest after guest brought it for my 10th birthday years after its release. No. Doesn't ring a bell. Revenge for Randy California and the great bluesmen. Not my fourth album.
