So? If you look over the Current Music (MoJo's section) and Beth's Music Mix and you find that this isn't your style of music, please go to the music below. The kids don't want to offend anyone and begged me to tell all of you. So? For the sake of your eardrums and mine, please don't complain if you listen to music that is not intended for the "distinguished" members of our society. That would be all of you in my generation.

The name of the band? Hogan's Heroes.   MUSIC "DID YOU KNOW" *Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith, met Joe Perry at an ice cream parlor called The Anchorage.

Hey Mo!

Feed the kids yet?

[MoJo2001]

Diva,

You should be able to right click on your beloved Phil Collins and you should have the ability to play the songs through RealPlayer by playing the songs directly to RealPlayer. I have it set up to listen to the songs by Windows Media Player because that's what I use the majority of the time.

[MoJo2001]

Hi Beth!
Hi Connor!
Hi Tony!

Hook-em-Horns!

[MoJo2001]

Thank you for adding a younger flava for our troops. We all know that Ma couldn't come up with any artists under 100 years old for the music selection. Hehehe!

[MoJo2001]

Soybeans bring in the most cash for Missourians as a crop.

Gosh! Thanks MoJo for posting this tidbit of information. I think everyone can be thankful that Missouri has contributed so many soybeans. Please ask them to keep that stuff away from MOJO as I don't like nutritional things. UGH!
