Folks,

I got my quarterly report from Amazon.com just now. As
part of their "Associates Program" I get a small (very
small) kickback when someone links to their site from
mine and makes a purchase.

I'm looking for someone who was looking at my book,
then went to Amazon and purchased this book:

B00002DDPD American Made Music To Strip By 13.99

We need to talk.

Cheers,

David

Well, of course. The alternative is reading about
more suggestions that ain't gonna happen in our
lifetimes.

It was a CD. I listened to a couple of tracks.
It's some sort of grunge music. Not Mr. Sousa
at all. From the sound of it she is probably too
young for me anyway. :-(

Cheers,

David

Well, Joe, *of course* I am assuming she's a she. You
don't think...oh, never mind. :-(

Cheers,

Forgive me, David, I'm still laughing about your messages.

Not only that, but the book title... *American* music ??!

John Philip Sousa style music doesn't strike me as being
particularly seductive ...

However, if David's enthusiastic dancing friend is truly
celebrating his IDL book, then maybe it makes sense :-)

Amara

Of course this whole thread is completely off topic.

now I'm curious about that book

Of course, you are optimistically assuming she's a she.
