Hey Lorilie,

    I tried to get Kazaa, but when I downloaded something called, "Blackcat" 
(which was suggested by their website)..  my computer said it was a trojan 
horse virus.  So, I stayed away.  Anyway, I'm still on dial up, so maybe it would 
take forever to download anyway.  

    As for buying re-releases or "a whole CD just for one or two songs", I 
can't tell you how many times now I've done this.  I never had a problem with 
buying something like "Home Alive" for Momma Why or "Blue Suede Sneakers", "The 
Simpsons", or the various artist Christmas albums...things that benefit a good 
cause.  But, as a fan, you feel like you have to "have it all".  You're 
collection has to be "complete".  And one pays good money for this. :)  It seems a 
trifle unfair to add one or two songs to something we all already *bought*.  
It is taking advantage of a fan's desire to have all the songs.  Solution:  How 
about an EP?  Like Battle Of Evermore?  

...I'm reminded of an article in an OLD rock mag where Ann and the rest of 
the band basically stated that they were a bit opposed to greatest hits in 
general saying that it "robbed fans wallets" or something to that affect.  Anyone 
recall that?  hmm....

   "Things ain't what they used to be.....".. ::knee slappin::::
