I like them both, but ELO is the one I feel bad about liking. I've always <I>wanted</I> to hate them but I just can't. Although, if you'd <I>really</I> wanted to make me feel guilty about voting for something you should have used 'Xanadu'.Strolling Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931209395206733161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-66786544265642886482008-03-15T10:35:00.000-05:002008-03-15T10:35:00.000-05:00That's an excellent idea, RH.

I have never seen anyone maintain such perfect sitting posture, let alone at a piano performing a rather involved piece.
