And my copies just arrived!
It is a wonderful show! Although I admit that I don't watch it any longer only because I had to cut my weekly TV viewing down a bit, and I wasn't about to give up MR. ED.

Well... There's nothing like biking 20 miles along the Lakeshore Trail.. Against a headwind/crosswind for most of the time... Absolutely nothing...It was glorious!!!!!

Only DR JohnG gave us a nice review. Most of the negative reviews are reviewing an album we didn't record; there's no sense from the reviewers of Herbert's changing song forms, the beauty of some of the music. In 102 songs, there are some turkeys but there are some glorious melodes, some funny songs, a few moving numbers, and performances ranging from poor to brilliant. I am proud that we produced a fun and historic document.I am aware that two of our singers showed up in pathetic form and I luckily got a chance to only record half of their material and reassign things to others, that I had to replace a singer who dragged me along for too long before I dropped him for another person, and that some folk showed up, delivered the goods and hit the songs out of the ball park. Still, I'm proud of the achievement.You should write a book!Wait for the memoirs!

Actually, DR George, the comments on the Herber Collected songs is rather uncomplimentary and I have no idea how our EILEEN will do. Only DR JohnG gave us a nice review.
