Ah! Thanks Gary - I understand and don't feel quite as stupid now! I wouldn't have picked up on the "Watermelon" reference. I guess this may be due to geographical and/or cultural differences between UK/USA. (Or due to my lack of knowledge!) The old adage of two countries divided by a common language still applies eh?

Incidentaly, unrelated but on a similar theme, here in the UK, the phrase "Blue eyed soul singer" seems to have come into favour to describe the likes of Robert Palmer, Michael Bolton, Mick Hucknall etc. I guess to avoid black/white sensitivities - Anyone know if this is a US import as well?

Cheers
