Marisa. I met you in Alfred, NY at Alfred University and now I am working at the Contemporary Art Center in Cincinnati and guard your American Idol piece in the Karaoke show. I didn't think I would ever hear Mercedes Benz that many times in my life, but I still enjoy the piece. Small world. Keep up the good work. -k
