(Did I mentione the switchover with cable providers - whew!)<BR/><BR/>Kestrel - Love the idea of life with a soundtrack - wouldn't that be cool - esp. when there's danger or sometime really significant happens and you get the music in the background that says "Hey Bozo - this is important stuff here." I like that. Or violins that come up during THOSE special moments. You could live your life by the soundtrack.<BR/><BR/>Esri Rose - I'd go with Aretha's RESPECT - when those rejections come in. *g*<BR/><BR/>Caren - You Tube is the best. I meant we can talk lyrics, but it's so neat to be able to hear the music as well and your right, it is addictive. You listed some great sounds there.<BR/><BR/>Louisa - Face it - Anything Josh Groban sings is inspirational *g* What an incredible voice! Plus - didn't he debut on Ally McBeal?
