SRI - thanks for the input!  Actually, I may indeed be senior to you.  However, my "name" was picked to create the allure of mystery and fame. HA HA.
I have not stood in front of Simon, Paula, and Randy.  I have, however, stood or sat and performed in front of thousands of many other, less famous "psuedo-Simons" and have enjoyed the experiences along the way, and (more importantly) I have lived to tell about it.
Sincerely, 
R/I
