You're probably right. Ultimately, it doesn't matter who does these other voices - it could be Jack the Janitor for that matter. They're usually minor parts of the song and so could be sung by anyone, so why drag all these different guys into the studio to record a line or two if not for marketing purposes? It was likely the Evil Klein's idea (gee, I wish Don Rowe hadn't left the list - please, Don, come back - we need you!) ______________________________________________________ Send your holiday cheer with http://greetings.yahoo.ca
