| Perfect Soundtrack for Stylish Sunday Lunch? You may want to cue up Mark Knopler's solo stuff, it's really nice acoustic music with some very low-key vocals.

| Moving to New Zealand from USA Now What????? I'm pretty sure an infrequent visitor to this site lives in NZ, it would be worth dropping a private email to RedKiwi and ask his advice. Great guy and sure knows his stuff. Regards, Jeff | |
| Not recognized in their lifetime? Frank Zappa was considered by many to be a clown and childish, mostly due to some of his tongue-in-cheek lyrics. If you appreciate (and more importantly understand) music, you would be hard-pressed to name a more accomplished musician this century... | |
| Thoughts about these forums Welcome back JD, I stopped participating in the forums for a while for several reasons:1) There was too much censorship by the moderators2) The same issues are raised time and again, people don't bother to search the archives. I suppose it's easie... | |
