        I just got my netmail fixed, so I'll look forward to 
        reading it.

        Aw, good. My attitude is that as long as it's prog it's 
        on topic. And prog covers a very, very wide spectrum.

        Yeah, they had to re-record the tune for the greatest 
        hits album as they couldn't put the original single on.

        Not me. I usually listen to most albums that way. In 
        fact, I'll often put a bunch of albums by the same band 
        on a 6 hour video cassette and just listen to the whole 
        thing from start to finish. It requires a different 
        mental approach to the concept of time, tho, and takes a 
        while to learn how to handle.

        Same here. I've probably bought more vinyl in the last 
        two years than I did in the previous 20. And at much 
        better prices, eh? Not to mention about 1000 8 tracks 
        I've bought, much of it prog.

        I'm glad I'm not so young that my ears have been 
        "spoiled" by the digital revolution. I can comfortably 
        listen to a lot of analog that would drive many young 
        people up a wall because it's not "perfect." To me, 
        "perfect" hurts my ears. 
 
 LL> Thanks for your comments Kenneth.......will TTYL.  :-) 
 
        THanks for taking them in the spirit in which they were 
        intended. It's nice to see people get enjoyment here and 
        have a good time. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
