Yay! Me too! I was a little afraid she'd be tick'd off (pun intended, sorry) and torture you, Lena_Zep with her absence just a little longer. But I'm so glad she returned safe and shiny-furred.

For me it all started in the 60s... Beatles, Dylan, Phil Ochs, Simon & Garfunkel (thanks to elder sister). Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Wonder, etc. (thanks to a close friend) Then came Joni Mitchell who inspired me to learn to play the acoustic guitar. Puccini (Mme. Butterfly), got me interested in joining a choral group in high school. College years, I first appreciated Beethoven, Chopin, etc. Then musical theatre, (transcribed for the guitar) esp. West Side Story, Carousel, Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, just to name a few. I spent a heck of a lotta $$$ @ the store on sheet music. But it was worth it. Ancient music (e.g., Renaissance music--John Dowland, especially, and mediæval troubadour music) Then, my very favorite band...Led Zeppelin, so many facets in their music! as we all know. I got into them later in life. Oh but I always loved their biggies when they first came out (Stairway to Heaven, Goin' To California and Kashmir) Nowadays I can't stop listening to solo works by its members, especially Midnight Moonlight (The Firm) and Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us (Robert Plant & Alison Krauss.) Edited to add the last item.

Hi, DianeSimmons! and...

Haha. So? save it and re-gift it like the "Tommy Bahama" guy. When in Rome...( ) PS: Just don't present it to the original donor.

I know what you mean, Lena_Zep. When my cats (they're gone now ) were kittens, I stupidly tried to bop 'em into the shower and slam the stall door shut. BIG MISTAKE!! I got scratches and one deep one which is still visible. (This was 11 years ago.) Hey, @ least they were showered. Then I set the hair dryer set to LOW and dried them off only for a couple of SECONDS. Afterwards, I got a book on how to do it. They say the key words are "slowly" and "calmly" while speaking to them in a sweet, hi-pitched voice. GEE THANKS, NOW YA TELL ME. But then again, it was nobody's fault but mine. Ya live and learn.

Hi Evster! Sounds like a "Let them eat cake." situation. Sad, tho'.
