I LOVE that. It's the story of my life smile . I'm sure I'll plagiarize it at some point in the future. Years ago while trying to stop smoking, I congratulated myself for "being strong enough to overcome my own willpower".

Thanks I would appreciate a few of the really best known songs from Europe if its not too much trouble. Just like to have them in my library fro an expert. Went to the restaurant, decent food but not setup for music. Bare bones dining area which they did fill to max. Bar in back had more diners along the wall but the the place was kind of dumpy. See what happens in the future.
Thanks again

rotfl When I was working the day job we actually had this round piece of plastic that said "tuit" ... so when someone said they would do something when they got 'around to it', they got the "round tuit" ... grin

PS, your love for this music is to be admired. Nice


John...there were two words in your message here that reached out to me: "enjoyment" and "music."

Folks our age remember when "music" was "music" and not something resembling aerobics with sound. "Enjoyment" was a pleasurable state of mind that I can only reach now by listening to Classical Music/Opera or listening to....."silence!"

Sad!!

My offer extends to both you and Bill. I have an extensive library of music if you need a piece.

Bill...the offer still goes but here's the qualifier. I need to know exactly what you want or need. Example: Mark, this place plays mostly xxx music. I can use maybe 3-4 more songs to spice up my repertoire. Or...I'm going into a "specialty" restaurant where they want ALL xxx music.

Trying to say, I just did a "find" for ethnic music alone in my music folder in the computer. 836 songs! I wouldn't know where to start.

I'm (hopefully) always here. So, if you tell me in the future that you're trying to land a job somewhere, we'll use that as a starting point.
