God, how I wish I could listen to them on my stereo and in my car! How about burning and distributing those songs to fans interested with Happy receiving the monies? *just a thought* Look forward to seeing Happy and Gong on Wednesday!!... My God, what a double feature!! My, how the circle turns! I still can't believe it... Anyone else here going besides Meredith? (total bummer you're not Vickie :( Good luck with the move..

"Chicken Little," said the readers, "it's only two >squirrels chasing each other in amorous conquest, skittering over the eave >of our house." "It's quite funny, actually," added one of the readers, >"you should come and see." But Chicken Little was annoyed. "I have work to >do!" she fumed. "Besides, I wasn't speaking to you.

Then, just as her >resolve was nearly wiped away clean, she heard a sound that was not very >loud.

In fact, it was coming from all sides now, the >sound of a million tiny things dropping on her roof. She peeked out her >window and saw a million tiny things dropping from the sky.
