What was so funny on stage that night? Thanks JLTC ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2002 16:31:55 EST From: Mithors@aol.com Subject: Re: basia-digest V7 #24 I live in Elk Grove California. Just saying that to the guy that asked if there were any Californians on the mailling list. Anyways as were disscussing our favorite and not so favorite Basia songs, I would like to countribute. Frist, the songs of hers I like very littel are "She deserves it", "Perfect Mother" and "Prime Time TV". All ohter Basia songs I just love. I love all her albums, but the ones I like the most are T&T, CH, and TSI. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2002 16:18:53 -0800 (PST) From: Bruce Grembowski Subject: Re: Not-so-favorite Basia songs My least favourite would have to be "Prime Time TV," although, I'm liking it better as the years go by.

During the live shows in '94, Danny would play the piano solo and then , very seriously, take out this little triangle and 'ting!' The whole act was hilarious, because Danny was so deadpan. Hence the laughter. - --Leslie Yahoo! Sports - Coverage of the 2002 Olympic Games http://sports.yahoo.com ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V7 #25 **************************
