    Hi August!

    [2] "Mr Telephone Man" (Meri Wilson). I have the 45rpm.
    I didn't recall anything like "Mr. Telephone Man" so did a quick search
    -- reminded me of the tune from the opening of 'Fresh Prince of Bel
    Aire'. Comment of the version I listened to said the song was the
    origin of rap and hip-hop.
    The "comment", was that about the theme song to the Fresh Prince?
    ..or was it Meri Wilson's tune. The Fresh Prince tune does
    indeed sound very similar to Telephone Man.

    Yes, that's what I intended to say: the theme song from the TV show
    sounds similar to Mr. Telephone Man.


    Too bad Meri died in a car accident at age 53.

    Yes. One one hand we all have to go some time, but that's not how I'd
    want to go if I had a choice.

    Barry,

    Too bad Meri died in a car accident at age 53.

    Yes. One one hand we all have to go some time, but that's not how I'd want to go if I had a choice.

    Or like the joke: "I want to die like my Grandpa did...in his sleep.
    Not like all the other people screaming in his car". :P

    Barry,

    Only if I can squeeze the coal into diamonds, and get a good price for them at the jeweler. <G>
