@rw - Thanks. I think Nilsson has so much of the old school running through his music that it lends itself to nostalgic reverie

Franco that's as much bullshit as cow milk being good for you. some study found a good antioxidant in tomato; but that doesn't negate that a huge % of people are allergic to them (& don't know it) and it's a primary aggrivation to reumatoid (sp) arthritis.

no Franco the nightshades are unrelated to morning glory. potatoes and sweet potatoes unrelated; yams and what most people call yams are also unrelated to each-other..
