Corin,
You the man! Nilsson is a fine pop tunesmith and the aforementioned album
*is* great. And as un-mod, un-modern or otherwise it may be...Cheap Trick
(1st Album - Dream Police) RULE! Er, um...RAWK!!! In Color (and In Black
and White) is supreme. However, I think this was discussed a while back.
TEE, HEE, HEE
peace,
R. Scott
