to all of us. I was posting in a thread about Dolores Huerta and spelled her name wrong. Some nice person corrected me and I fixed it. I've probably made all kinds of errors trying to multi-task while I'm on line. Thanks again for the video. I really enjoyed it and I hope you get a chance to listen to the songs I mentioned. I think you will like them.
