"So Nice!" Download RealJukebox... it can play mp3's just fine... plus you'll like that you can put your audio cd's on your hard drive and play them like a jukebox (shuffle, etc.). My download of So Nice was a-ok. Plus, my husband recognized the tune as a cover song (from the late 60's early 70's he says). Kevin what does it say on the credits of the single??? - -- Beverly Martin Meg Evans wrote: > Kevin wrote, > > >If you agree, try this link: > >http://www.inetarena.com/~soundman/So_nice.html > > Okay, I downloaded it.

They were originally a jam session of sorts but had to choose an impromptu name, so they chose Spyogyra as a joke, since it essentially means "pond scum." It was misspelled on the marquee, and the rest is history.

Well, at least everyone in the group knows now... I had been wondering for at least 10 years why they chose that name. Then when I finally decided to look it up, I found the answer in a few minutes. Isn't the Internet great!!
