Very eclectic list Laur. I wanted to include Dusty'Springfield's version of You Don't Own Me simply for the irony w/Joss Stone and because I love Dusty but I just don't like that song (apologies to Leslie Gore).

[_Laurie_]

Thanks Joe... Nice to see Birdland getting a vote.....Gotta appreciate that bass playin...
