Better than most of...I think the song is fantastic.<br />Better than most of the stuff my brother listens to. Maybe you should send him a CD, too.<br /><br />I don't think the health care bill is as good or as bad as they claim. As usual, the extremes on either end drive the dialogue, and the truth lies somewhere in between.Mercutiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13270898097330918764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14226983.post-92082721863423229972010-03-24T03:22:53.729+01:002010-03-24T03:22:53.729+01:00Well my goodness , Sera , loading down this sketch...Well my goodness , <b>Sera</b> , loading down this sketch onto your iPod - that is ... I don't know what to say, an honor perhaps. Thank you. I will have a CD out by late summer with a bunch of originals and maybe one or two cover tunes. I'll send it to you when it is done.<br />Did you find new work? I am still working on my front.<br />And yes, even if so little, the new health care bill did SOME progress.

"proper" versions sometimes end up being too polished; they lose the nuance that makes them work.<br />it's going on my ipod!<br /><br />and yay for obama. there are a lot of good things in this legislation. it is more insurance reform than "healthcare" reform.<br />it was badly needed legislation that will protect all americans from some of the most egregious practices of insurance companies xuch as denying coverage because of lifetime limits or alleged pre-existing conditions.Seraphinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06527934346602655741noreply@blogger.com
