And, while I like the SD Aja album itself, I LOVE the title song "Aja" from it. The various changes that occur throughout, the oriental-tinged lyrics and flawless intrumentals make this one of my top-ten songs of all time. New Year's Eve: tire of just hanging at someone's house for dinner & watching "the ball drop", we decided to splurge this year and go (with a few close friends) to The Grille Room (a moderately-sized restaurant) here on Long Island for dinner, drinks and a band with dancing- all for just $100 per person (plus tax & tip, of course). Best wishes to all you JoniListas out there, wherever you spend your New Year's Eve, Kenny B ************************************** See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2007 01:19:43 -0500 (EST) From: Eric Taylor Subject: Re: JoniQuiz Pt. 8 : SHINE How can I possibly resist this, Rian!???
