Ordered"Mars" as well as the Parks and Recreation.I love all things
Bacharach[and Jimmy Webb].
The Casey Dienel is starting to be cool. I had problems with it at
first,probanly due to high expectations.After Sylvie Lewis and Nellie ,I
can see why.But I am starting to find Casey's charm.Love "Coffee
Beanery".The lyrics are a high point for me.
