You guy's can tell the Brecker boy's songs apart? They all sound the same to me. "Bread and Butter", "Under The Milky Way"? I'm guessing this one has a theme? Not up there with my "Mad Cow Radio", but related.

I was talking to the Widder Fansome about the Milkmen just the other day. One of You Know Who's favorite bands. Steve Miller with "Space Cowboy". He's from Texas, he knows cows.

No "Milk Cow Blues" yet? Bob Wills And His Texas Playboy's did a great version of it. Mooo!

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
