>>>Back to Miami Steve, a.k.a. Silvio, I have a record recommendation for you. It is "Hearts of Stone" by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. If I had to choose 20 CDs to take with me to the proverbial desert island that would be one of them. Steve Van Zandt produced and arranged it, as well as contributing guitar licks and some backing vocals. Great stuff -- trust me ;-)

>The picture on the cover is of Southside Johnny, a.k.a. Johnny Lyon. As Bruce himself wrote in the liner notes of the first album, this is a guy you can listen to all night long. He put out four or five classic albums out of the gate, lost his way for a while, then recorded "Better Days" just when I thought it was safe to stop buying Southside Johnny albums. It is always a pleasure to offer an unconditional recommendation.

Well ... sounds good. Of course, you could be praising a type of music that I hated, but I'm always prepared to give anything a listen.

But if I end up wasting 98c! ....
