The one that immediately comes to mind, and my favorite Vonnegut
related song, is Ambrosia's "Nice Nice Very Nice."
Vonnegut did an album with Dave Soldier called "Ice-9 Ballads." Here's
a link to it via Amazon (http://dwarfurl.com/a4feb). It's been on my
wish list for a while but, not knowing anything about it, I've never
been brave enough to order it. Anyone more familiar with it?
I am so going to miss that guy. Everyone on the Greatest Living
Writers list moved up a notch this week.
