Bob, I'm also crazy about the About the Boy soundtrack. To me it's Harry Nilsson meets Nick Drake meets the Colourfield. So NATURALLY I am very impressed with the inclusion of The Point in your list of favorite soundtracks. I have it on LP too - that, the soundtrack to Godspell, and Tapestry were the soundtrack to my very early childhood. And probably formed the basis of my musical tastes today. Great pick! Jenny
