Hah! Thanks Liz!
Gee, wouldn't I love to hear them play Surreal live. <sigh> You lucky
gal!
I know I'll be seeing you at the show...I've been wondering how we are
going to meet up...on stage seems the most obvious of places...and you
really can't overlook someone belting out Les Mis tunes now can you?
We'll be sure to see one another!
(You did a great job pressing "send".)
Take good care! ~Emily
