Yes, Radriano, I'm coming to the Bay Area again -- I hope this fall. Waiting to hear about various job-related insanities to know whether I'll be moving again or staying put and if b.) then whether I'll actually be getting paid with some hint of regularity. But I definitely am looking forward to a return engagement. I've even learned a couple more songs! Whoo-hoo.

MMario. Thank you so much for the words to the birthday song. I've been doing that for friends, but only remembered a verse or two. I'll print them out and keep them ever.

Mbo -- do you know the Pogues' Christmas song? It's one of my seasonal favorites. Not one I do at the retirmement home, of course -- unless it's the House of the Setting Sun ...

Good ones, everybody, keep 'em coming!
