    I would not like to have only ten songs because I would eventually get sick of hearing them. Wouldn't want to ruin ten good songs.

    Book would be War and Peace by Tolstoy because I'd never finish it.
    Worst signature ever.

    Instead of some great records and a banana split, how about a machette and a flint - lets be practical.

    You could have stuck a little Captain Beefheart in there by way of leavening?

    Reminds me of Ken Clarke's selection - eight songs from the Be-Bop era featuring the tenor sax!
