leeneia, every few years I re-read all my Jane Austin and Thomas Hardy books. Have you ever read "Under the Greenwood Tree"? If you do a forum search on MASON'S APRON, you will find part of it that I quote. Great T. Hardy. Just finished "The Song of The Lark" by Willa Cather. I used to re-read "Death Comes For the Archbishop", my favorite Cather, but now "Song of the Lark" is a real singer's novel, especially for someone who knows the history of the American West.

Thanks everyone, for listening to the sound clips... now if I can just get my son to quit referring to it as "Donny Goes Berserk-o".... he'll be thirteen in a week, teenagers, teenagers...
