Jeeez no66y© I don't know that sort of stuff about you and your
family! It was the one track on the list that caught my eye and the
song that made me laugh.

I think it's the reverse of sad.

I just think it shows what beautiful stuff most music is and how even
something with as much bathos as the Rolf song can suddenly make
people come alive.

Wasn't it Noel Coward who once said that there was 'nothing as potent
as cheap music'?

He was right.

Although I take your point regarding the 'levelling' effects of
booze.........
