The Bottom Line I really need to clean out my CD case!
I can't remember a time that music wasn't important to me. It frames the soundtrack of my life and many of my favorite memories have an accompanying score. Along with great literature, music bears me up and carries me to lofty places. Thank you, Ron, for letting me hitch a ride one more time. Note: Numbers in parentheses serve as footnote indicators.

Thanks for spending some time with your Mother! ~ Mothermeatloaf See where it all began by reading JAGUARDOG's original post here!
