    Mistakes are being made due to the length of the first thread. So I'll start a new thread leading with Joni's last post.
    Lets thank Anne for starting this, the fastest moving thread I've seen yet.

    "Taking It to the Streets"...The Doobie Brothers


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    "I'll unlace the ties that bind you, and my fingers from your hand
    And I'll lose you 'til I find you
    And the woman in the man.

    But your curse will be your blessing when the angel takes her place
    In the body of the messenger with Aphrodite's face."

    -Eliza Gilkyson, "Aphrodite's Face", from the album Lost and Found

    "Dancing on the Ceiling" -- Lionel Richie

    Now that the game is progressing well, let's open it up to comments about the song choices. If you want, write a short note about why you selected the song, or even include some lyrics.


    For this song, it reminds me of Choices, a seminar I went through about a decade ago. That seminar helped me a whole lot to find out who I am, and to be more open about that. It began my journey of discovery, especially after learning that on average 90% of the people that see you can see right through your facades within a matter of seconds - so what's the point of hiding anything? The seminar is run by Thelma Box, who one ran seminars with the famous Dr. Phil. Thelma's about as aggressive with people as Dr. Phil is, so yes, I've been on the receiving end many times, just like you see on his show.

    Dancing on the Ceiling is used often throughout the seminar and brings back some really good memories I have of that experience.

    "The Woman In Me" -- Shania Twain

    I've released a few covers of Shania's songs over the years, and I've been to a few of her concerts, so I've listened to most of her songs. I admire her ability to put out good material.

    Oh, and here's why.<G> Too bad it's not that easy, huh?

    Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
    hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
    Plucked her eyebrows on the way
    shaved her legs and then he was a she
    She says, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
    said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
