That's too bad, because I was listening to "US Forces" last night in the ca=
r to get ready for the gigs - before I had seen this discussion - and hopin=
g they would play the song.  And yes, I was singing it at the top of my lun=
gs as well.

Hope my inner ear infection goes away before the gigs (sorry, hope that's n=
ot too gross),

Jonathan
