First day (sunday) I was asked to select a cd to play ... i wasn't expecting this in a library and was very pleasantly surprised....a few minutes later however I could hardly conceal my delight when I found a certain album on the stand...well, I had to didn't I?! yes, everyone heard Tubular Bells II and one guy even came over and asked what the music was he thought it was so good. Not sure if my boss agreed and I think she was surprised that there had been a question relating to the music but at least I could answer it! It was wonderful to hear it so unexpectedly and has given me very positive vibes about my new job...I can maybe influence many generations of library visitors now! Spreading the word I am -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning.... You heard me before Yet you hear me again Then I die Till I call me again Back to top

We're both lucky we didn't have Sir M as one of our patrons, bee! -------------- "Who was that?"
