I was just thinking the same thing 🙂 Y’all put me to shame!

Then again, last night I was cruising the used CD shop and purchased Ministry “Jesus Built My Hotrod” maxi single and Tom Lehrer “That Was the Year That Was” so I guess I’m doing OK…

Playing in my iMac’s CD player as I type this is the score to some “Amazing Stories” episodes. (“Amazing Stories” was a series in the 80s, and had some good directors and composers work for it.) I got the CD for the exquisite score to “Dorothy and Ben”, composed by the late Georges Delerue.
