That is very, very good! Now.......I play guitar and keyboard, soooooo -- The tune? You could have a hit on your hands! It really gets me how everybody underestimates their talents, while many less talented gain famee and fortune! royalblush ----------------------------------- ALW01 02.05.2007, 04:38 ----------------------------------- You know what dear friend, I think you could be right !!! Here we go 2-3-4 Thank You royalblush, I'm a great bathroom singer. I'd better think of a stage name, you know, just in case. Now, let me think....... My first pet = Bob, The Street I was born in = St. Radford Street. BOB ST. RADFORD Perfect. ----------------------------------- ALW01 07.05.2007, 12:43 ----------------------------------- Using the name of the first pet you ever owned for your first name, And the name of the street you were born in for your surname. If my son Alan becomes a pop idle and changes his name in this way, He would be called " Chubby-Cheek's Appleblossom" Alan ----------------------------------- annacris 02.06.2007, 13:57 ----------------------------------- Very nice AL :):):) ----------------------------------- ALW01 02.06.2007, 18:12 ----------------------------------- Thanks annacris, and may I say nice to see so many post's.

I sent a poem to poetry.com in late February. Just before I went walkabout. Two days ago I received a letter telling me they are going to publish it, on a page of it's own. It has made the last 4 in their monthly $1,000 contest. The odd thing about it is, I wrote it 24 years ago. lol I'll post it along with the certificate I received as soon as I can buy a scanner.
