That's the one.  Thanks.

 MR> Allman Brothers,  but I never liked "Whipping Post" for some

I love all those songs, that whole album.  I'm a bit burnt on "Reed" though, 
I've heard so many bad versions by bar bands over the years that I shudder even 
at the Bros. version when i hear it anymore.  It's amazing how that sonfs been 
abused.

 MR>    Well, ...I'll keep that in mind, Bill.  ;-)

Head down to the border, stand on the U.S. side and look for a car with 
California plates.  Have a sign in your hand saying you're Canadian,  Any 
Californian will pick you up so that they can have somebody in the car that the 
people of Washington and Oregon will talk to while getting gas or food with 
getting spit on.  Of course you may have trouble with them letting you out of 
the car until the hit the California border. ;)
