Andreas, when you're counting Germans, don't forget Wolfgang and Susanne (and Malena, and maybe one or two others) - Germany is fairly well represented, and we are starting to get others from the European Continent in addition to our old-timer Ezio from Italy.

You will note that even way back in 1997, Bill D. was needling me for my interest in mere pop music. Thanks to him and others, my tastes may have improved.... Then again, maybe my taste hasn't improved, but maybe Bill D. has learned to tolerate me.
