'The Message'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
On another subject entirely, why doesn't Seattle have a Virgin Mega Store? When I lived that year in the UK, I practically lived at the Reading location.
If it's any consolation, they've really cut the book section down to less than half of what it once was. DVDs are eating up the whole store like a cancer.
Hecubus introduced me to "Horses", iirc. I'm really fond of it. Championship Vinyl customer service, bwah. (of course, I'm kind of the person they dread, apart from never being like "It has that guy? And a blue cover?")
So, if you were going to get a small child a small musical instrument - what would you get?
She's going to be five: I'm thinking recorder. . . maybe a harmonica.

Contrabass sax. But I have a strange sense of humor. And a lot of disposable income. What with being producer of The Simpsons and King of the Hill and all.
Bwahaha!
I don't believe I've ever seen one of those before.
Sumi: glockenspiel. Oh yeah.
Not differently, WROUNG!
What can I say? I'm ignourant.
Also, re: Dr. Wu, I'd probably point out that Walter Becker, who attended the University of Alabama briefly, allegedly failed a class taught by noted logic professor Dr. Katy Wu.

Was she crazy? Was she high?
Of course if Becker's proofs were anything like his lyrics it's small wonder that he failed.
Yes, yes, and I agree.
It was 30 years ago... last Sunday. The Birth of (UK) Punk: [link]
Sumi: African Thumb Piano. It's really hard to make one of those sound bad, and (speaking as the mother of a five-year-old boy who has a harmonica, recorder, tambourine, maracas, and a high-end child-size drum kit and who has been known to try to play them ALL AT ONCE) that's a sanity saver.
Unless you hate the child's parents, in which case: toy accordion. They never sound good and they break almost immediately (but not in a way that renders them silent).
