Back in my day [and pre-highschool age]        I didn't have any easy resources to investigate/study music        groups and songs. I'd just visit a local shop in town that had        several waste-height "bins" of 45's and I'd just sift through        them until I'd see what piqued my interest. Another        alternative was to give my mom a list of songs I was interested        in having heard them on the radio, and she'd give the list to        someone working at Sam The Reord Man in downtown Toronto when        she was still travelling to Toronto every week.              --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.64        * Origin: What do you call a musician with problems?
