Bobby, hows 'bout some Kingston Trio or Limeliters? Whinsical yes, but I loved 'em when I was a kid. "Riding on the MTA"? works for me.

Besides as an added bonus, you get to be on the album cover! :D

@The Bryster: Since H, R. Geiger did most of the ELP covers, that would be a hell (pun intended), of a subject for a cover contest.

Or maybe a cover in the style of Roger Dean, who did covers for one of my other favorite groups, YES.

As to buskers in Los Angeles. If you tried to perform in one of our subway stations you'd be 'buskered' alright. Buskered right to jail.

The County of Los Angeles only allows street performers/singers on the Venice Boardwalk.

Oh, and the performers need a permit, have a defined spot where the perform, (which they pay for), get liability insurance (where applicable), and are restricted to certain hours of the day.

And now you know why Los Angeles is called "The Entertainment Capitol of the World". ;)

Note to the younger members of our group who don't know who we're talking about: Just Google 'Roger Dean', (I'm too lazy to provide a link) and you'll see some very cool fantasy artwork.

This guy was doing Bryce before there was Bryce.

Well that's a wrap, I've got to get back to houswork, then start making some homemade turkey soup, Yum!

Oh, and render something I hope to post tonight. ;)

Best,
Jacques
