Actually, yes, I have.

But to know what kind of person she is, even that isn't necessary; all that's necessary is to have heard or read enough conversation of hers (even if it was with other people) to get a sense of her personality.

I have NOT communicated directly even once with President Bush, but I know what kind of person HE is, too.

It's not the same in this situation, but still. And for the record, yes, I really love some of his music (though saying that makes me also wonder how much he collaborates with others to create the music, but now I'm just starting trouble). The strings followed by the drums and whatever that electronic sound is in the beginning of Hey Amigo is just fabulous. That's probably a large part of why it's one of my favorite songs.

LB has a genius for music. It doesn't matter if he collaborates, it is the sound he ends up with that is important. He ends up with a sound that very few (if any) can match.

And what would you call this holiday?

"Ali-day", perhaps?

Thanks!

Those three cover pretty much 95% of his work. The only other thing to check out are his film soundtracks (Giorgino, Jacquou le Croquant...).

Ok, so you have. Nice. Good for you.
