Huh? Small world? What's your point? Aren't you proving my point that they
were mentors? Did I ever say you didn't know them, or you didn't have
personal experiences Kaye? Why not tell us about them? I found your story
last year about Elvis very interesting.

You can't be serious about "blanket statements' or "uneducated".

>Pride always goeth before the fall....

See what I mean? If you are educated yourself, you will understand that what
you say above is the epitome of a blanket statement. As far as my education
goes, I'll show you mine if you show me yours. Embrace the whole world?
Kaye, you need to get out more and do a little embracing yourself.

Music God? How did you make that leap of faith? Was it the "goeth"?
