assistant: Hello Chuck:-)
 Lost this train of thought for sure!! Took you long enough to answer
ack!<G>
 What's been keeping you busy? <VBG>
 Do trees really stand still; so the moss can grow on it instead of a
 Rolling Stone
?
 ...
 ...
 Really? Think my glasses will help out?
 Indeed!!
 All the time?  Lawerence Welk is the highlight of my week!! <G>
 You had all that in my the list I did for you....but here it goes anyway:
  Bryan Adams, Journey, Boston, GNR, Van Hallen, Cheap Trick, Styx,
  Michael Bolton, Aerosmith, Meatloaf, Queen, etc...you get the drift? <G>
some things I have on vinyl but can't listen to cuz I have no turntable:
Cheap Trick, AC/DC(Highway to Hell) Peter Frampton(whoa is that old!),
Meatloaf, BeeGees, Styx, ELO, Triumph, Steve Miller Band etc...
All pretty mainstream stuff!
Newest singer or group: Alanis Morrisette, Jagged Little Pill
What's your newest singer or group you've added to your collection?
I did purchase a CD this weekend; Bon Jovi; New Jersey.....it was
 in the specials bin for $12.95.
 ...
 Don't worry about it...I'll go buy one for her at the store...
 They were on again this weekend; I did the noble thing and taped them for
her!
 Sure, sure!! <VBG>
