Betty,

It's so hard not to get caught up in MT's energy.  You're so right.

There was a time, during my dark moods when Janis Ian ("I learned the truth
at 17..")would help me out.  As I listened a voice in my head would say
something like "Geez!  What are you feeling bad about? Your life is a piece
of cake compared to this woman."  Worked every time.

That was "La Bamba"  (Lou Diamond Phillips) it's a good double rental with
"The Buddy Holly Story"  (Gary Busey) Holly was on the same plane.

Too easy, but the thought is appreciated.  I'd give you a harder Epstein
question, but don't want to start a trend.  BTW, Epstein also managed Jerry
and the Pacemakers.

Keep dancing Betty,
