I'm sure you will make a wonderful father. You've already proved this to some extent by contriving to have Amelia born a month early just so she could be born on Joni's birthday. What weight was she as a matter of interest? My own daughter was born a month early, extremely fast and it was a terrible shock to both of us! We soon recovered though. A great choice of name. Good luck to you all. Jacky ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2005 06:42:08 -0800 (PST) From: Bryan Subject: Shameless promotion - remastered Janis Ian CDs at low, low prices!

She played piano (the only artist to accompany themselves -everyone else used the backup band) and she sang a fabulous version of Elvis's "Party Girl", and was delightful to chat with at the afterparty.

It not only depends on your own preference, but by what standard you define "best", ie. most well-known, most recorded, most played, etc. Although personally I'm going with Hejira, even though saying that will almost certainly result in a large number of posts describing exactly why I'm wrong.....
