great stuff, especially Jill Sobule. You got Better than Ezra "Merry Christmas Eve"? It's great, but it was only on a single from the early 90's and I can't find any mp3. I think you would dig it the most.
Thanks, Dan...I recall that from "back in da day"...I'll check my CD library...I may have it on a compilation! :) Thanks for stopping by...
