Okay, I'm in the club. Can somebody run that list of perks by me again.

This one soars me past him!

This post here ties me with Johnny E as number 10!

I knew you had something going for you.

I was raised with a high sense of my ethnic heritage, and I would not have wanted it any other way. I am very proud of that. The older generations of my family only married other Italians. I think one of the main reasons for this was because of the neighborhoods they lived in were like an extension of the old country. This is not the case today. To be in touch with our history (if possible) is a good thing. There is nothing wrong with taking pride in being Irish, German, Italian, Mexican, Jamaican, Asian, or whatever you may be. In most cases ethnic festivals or holidays are shared and celebrated by all kinds, not just that particular group. People need to find the middle ground. I share my ethnicity with my friends, and they all seem to love the fact that I do. My wife is Mexican and loves having the experience of her families culture as well as mine. The key is keeping it all in perspective. I can feel a special connection to one group of people, but still want to connect with and experience the dynamics of all the others.

I think the problem may be in not knowing how to answer the questions. I'm putting some thoughts together, and will get back to you.

Yeah but, sometimes I just look at the pictures.

Thanks Hans, I didn't see that.

I think it's PD. The message is not too far off, but I could never grow a beard like that, and those sunglasses, yuk...

I find it impossible to pick just one favorite poll. So, if I was on a desert island, I would pick the following polls. Not in any particular order. Conn poll 2 Rare Groove poll Conn poll 3 Conn poll 1 Conn not on other Conn poll

Rooster's Poll, I like the sound of that.

Yeah, then he can be in ALL of her videos.

Just out of curiosity, where can one find the top ten list?

Chuck, beat me to the punch.

Johnny try this site, and do a title search. http://www.ascap.com/ace/ I don't know how much help it will be, but it's worth a try.
