assistant: Hello Chuck,
 You said it sounded dated! Or rather Martin did!
 Dateless music would be; music without a date! See?
 I shall ask him this weekend! See what he has to say! Does that mean
 I have to talk to him? <G>
 A very big step! This a good step or a bad one? <VBG>
 Yep it is good!  And well remembered!
 I see! Well I shall have to check it out!
 Though I don't get VH-1 nor MTV; maybe MM will play it?
 And you are having a difficult time typing because...?
 Well I think we are all like that! There are songs I have heard but don't
remember the song title; till I hear the song again!
 ...
 Yep, you are! You don't? I am aghast at this!<G>
 Yep I am picking on poor Chuck!
 Did Elaine say I could? Kewl!
So lets see that's Saga, Honeymoon Suite , FIST, Harlequin, and Toronto you
don't know of! The list is growing my friend! I'll have to see what else
 I can come up with eh? <VBG>
 ...
 Yes eh? Kewl! Too bad you lost the album though!
 As far as I knew he belonged to Red Rider! Maybe, just maybe I am wrong!
I am capable of that..he was in one of them groups! I'm sure it's Red Rider!
 ...
 Nope, his earlier work is most excellent!
 I heard he will be coming out with a new album; as in Bon Jovi the group!
 My you have been busy!
 I have heard none of these! No surprise there eh?
 You wish to be spanked do you? <VBG>
 They come in soon!
