@ Michael 98145 :well, think of it as a different channel for your many moods. Some channels are uplifting, or more intellectually challenging. When you're in a crazy, silly mood for programming of no socially redeeming value, than Sheena's Jungle Room is there for you. | |

They're from a couple of series: The "Zanzibara" series is from Buda Musique, the same folks who did the Ethiopiques series, and the others, I don't really know much about them, but they're earlier (80s and 90s) collections | |

FT I said I finished taxes today. I've been picking away at them for a few weeks now. And the 60 pages includes Fed and State plus instructions, etc. Not easy though. I should probably hire an accountant. Bug cloud sounds way more fun. | |
