assistant: Hi ya Chuck,
 ...
 He does, does he?  And what does Martin think of them?  :-)
 ...
 With him, who knows?  I guess I could ask?
 I don't know about with the "divsion of assets"? I guess I could ask my
 lawyer!
 Well lets hope it never gets that far!
 Nobody would want to mess with your music collection Chuck! <G>
 ...
 Well, maybe they were just local around here! Another Canadian band!
 Suffice is to say, I'll never get the album again! :-(
 ...
 Hey, I told you I was never any good with song titles; unless it is a group
 I listen to everyday!
 ...
 It is a likely story; a true one!
 Yep, the same! Love their music!
 Well, I guess that's all i need to know! I will not be purchasing it either;
 if Chuck says it any good!! <VBG>
 Well , good for you! I have purchased nothing new lately!
 Hmmmm what? I ain't no good with song titles like you , you know!
 I have a way of getting the songs titles!! I will just ask someone who will
 know! <WINK>
Not that I really want to talk to him; but for you: Anything!
 Another Canadian band! And a good one too!
 NP: "Midnight Ride" : Styx : _Equinox_
