I've discovered much more interesting music since those days'< and this is how it should be. MY first 'love' of music was probably Eartha Kitt,followed some years later (around '57/'58)by Buddy Holly, Elvis and Ray Charles........after which,of course,there was no hope for me......Arioop........... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Nice PSV shirt though! ;-) Bart ((( PS.1 - It's a gallery in New York if I remember rightly. Colin's definitely lost a bit of weight since those photos, looking very sprightly by degggrreees in Glasgow, in slim fit long sleeve T with nice minidisc illustration. You can see for yourselves when my photos see the light of day. Fergus This link has something to do with the P.S.1 http://www.wps1.org or http://www.ps1.org/ Founded in 1971, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center is one of the largest and oldest arts organizations in the United States solely devoted to contemporary art. Recognized as a defining force of the alternative space movement, P.S.1 stands out from other major arts institutions in its cutting edge approach to exhibitions and direct involvement with artists. P.S.1 combines a world-class exhibition program, a prestigious National and International Artist Studio Program, and a broad spectrum of education and public programs that serve our many audiences.

It was strangely moving and one felt on his side even if one wouldn t exactly have wanted him as a neighbour. >> I missed this one, but on a similar theme is a film about two ageing female members of the Kennedy clan, both now deceased I believe, who lived in unbelievable genteel squalor somewhere on Long Island (I believe). It's called Gray something (the name of the house). Very disturbing viewing - anyone know what I am on about?!

Starring Bruce Campbell as Elvis and Ossie Davis as JFK, from a short story by Joe Lansdale. Good in its own right, and more entertaining than the one about decrepit osteoporotic dowagers, I'll wager. billy ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 May 2004 13:46:17 +0200 From: "Eiliv Konglevoll" Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Dear Dan.........
