I can imagine that they have had their share of spats, as us Melancholies tend to be overly sensitive, moody, and at times, vengeful. But the true test of their friendship is the fact that through it all, they have remained good friends, attesting to their temperament's natural ability to be fiercely loyal friends.

Subject: Basia's Biography Movie I have a funny idea. If one day a producer makes a biographical movie about Basia, who will be casted as Basia, baby Basia, little Basia, and young Basia? Do you have any idea? And for Danny, Kevin Peter White, Peter Ross, Mikolaj..... And it's possible that some of you who had personally met her will be casted in the movie... (crazy idea, isn't it?) Even, it's possible that this list will also appear though just for a glance... Knowing that it's impossible for me to appear in that 'in my dream' movie, I propose the title instead. It will be called: "From Jaworzno Conquering the World: a Story of Basia Trzetrzelewska" or: "Yearning No More" or: "The Prayer of a Happy Woman" or: "Just an Ordinary Woman" or: "Not an Angel (Only a Woman)" or: "The One and Only" or: "Jaworzno's Angel" or: "Singing with Angels" or: "Little Woman, Big Voice" or: "Living Simple Pleasures" or: "She Deserves It (Basia's Life)" or: "Wishing under an Olive Tree" or: "Hug an Olive Tree" (not hug a Polish girl...:-)) or: "The Sweetest Life" or: "Cruising My Life" or: "Miss 'Riot' Calming the World" or: "After Copernicus and Curie" or: dou you have any other idea?

Desianto as a fan has it right, he can prefer one musician over another. However since he admitted he can not play, his(nor my) judgment of their skills carries more than a subjective opinion. Since it would be almost impossible to objectively quantify those skills that would qualify one to be the best in the world we are left to our own foot tappin' likes and dislikes.
