    Nevermind. ;)
    You find someone?  :)
    Actually read it in an article in the local paper about the doldrums
of the music industry.  While there are fewer major "hits", there are
also more choices than ever.  Just read today of a record released with
a pressing run of 500 copies.
    I like to hope it does.  Anymore, I pretty much don't date anyone
who doesn't enjoy music.
    And if your boyfriend told you it made him think of you, what would
your reaction be?
    She sounds quite a bit like Jen Trynin voice wise, which meant I
liked the music to begin with.  The city of Boston is home to a few good
acts.  Boston, Juliana Hatfield, Jen Trynin...
    Actually, I misquoted her.  She asked if she would hear it and fall
down in love, knowing this was how I felt.
    Well?
    She has offered...
...
Typing of BW barfing...
    I see!
    <grin>
    I was!  ;-}~
    I have _Keep the Faith_, _Cross Road_, and _These Days_.
Happy New Year - May it bring happiness, peace, and new love...
