(yes, we are wimps out here in usually sunny California.) I can't believe I survived three Tokyo winters...since I moved back home to CA ten years I go I guess my blood has thinned (or thickened, whichever way it goes). Meg, thank you for your comment about WNUA, although I'm sorry to hear that it's a national phenomenon...but I'm jealous that you know Polish! I'm quite a language buff myself and if I didn't have to work for a living I would study as many languages as I could at one time! Oh yeah, this is the Basia mailing list, after all. Thanks for letting me vent about the weather and crappy radio programming. I have to mention, since Cliff brought it up, that my copy of TSI is autographed by both Basia & Danny. Got to meet them at a promotion 4 years ago (Ashoke got to hear this story). At the same promotion I dragged along my LWNY tourbook and they signed that too! Look forward to more posts now that people are off for the holidays!

I of course forgot to write *what* did Basia say in the five-minutes part of TV2 interview I managed to say: she said that she's spending the Christmas with Kevin's family because his mum is sick (I hope I recall this correctly) but as a general rule she's became quite pissed with the Americans and Englishmen and thinks about moving to Poland. Kevin is her "connection" between Poles and Americans. That's it. Maybe Tomasz saw more... Once more: Merry Christmas!

OKAY-WHO DID IT??!! Hey, as long as she makes records,she could live in Grand Rapids, Michigan for all I care *ducking flying tinsel for that remark* Seriously, though, this has come up in conversations she has had for a while. As early as 1989 she was saying that eventually she would go back to Poland because the British were so weird to her. But I say that about GR all the time, and I haven't left yet! Kevin is her "connection" between Poles and Americans. Yeah,didn't she say he's not typically English? Lucky for him. :) >That's it. Maybe Tomasz saw more... Hey, buddy, share it if you did!

The Paris of the southeastern corner of lower Michigan? I owe a lot of my appreciation for jazz to Cobo Hall. You have to be in one of the most musically diverse cities in the world. I miss a lot of great people that I used to work with at GM, American Motors, and Compuware. They helped a young Texan learn there was something beside Willie Nelson and ZZ Top. Without the frozen chosen, I would have probably never been able to develop the taste to appreciate our little Polish lady. Please raise a glass of cheer for all those wonderful people at the Tech Center and in Southfield. Frohe Wienachten.
