Hello Jim,
As you discovered, the rule for 'p' applies inside the #album as well. Try
using '#album p' or even '#album *' to override the fonts for 'p' here.
BTW - Not sure why you have the universal selector (*) as ancestor for 'p'
there - I can't imagine a situation where a paragraph is not contained in
_something_.
Cordially,
David
