Holly Cole and Spam

[kln@a.crl.com]

No, these two topics have nought to do with each other.  

Since Vickie noted my mention of Holly Cole, but no-one else has listed her 
among current listens, I'd like to put in a good word for her.  While none of 
her works is original composition (as far as I can see) her interpretations of 
old standards such as "On the Street Where you Live" and "Que Sera Sera" are 
wonderful, demented, beautiful, and fey.  She also picks up the occasional 
neglected song such as Disney's "Trust in Me" from the Jungle Book animated 
film, and makes it sound like an old jazz standby.  Very fun!

I'd like to thank Bill and crew for ending the spamfest.  We've been several 
months without and I think that calls for kudos, or perhaps eggs, toast, spam 
and pancakes . . . or maybe spam, spam, eggs and spam.  Washed down with 
Fruitopia.  Okay, so that's really gross. But the thanks are sincere.
