@glenn: hey, it wasn't me drinking it, so no ill effects here :)
Even if the foot massage bit was a bit disturbing...
You can certainly download an "old-fashioned phone" ringtone over here, so there's bound to be a ringtone or app available in the States.Sat. 2/25/12 9:35am Dave in PA:

Check out a film called 'We Dreamed America'
Quoth Wikipedia: "We Dreamed America is a documentary film, directed by Alex Walker, that delves deep into the dark recesses of the British music scene. Examining the relationship and ongoing exchange between British and American roots music, the film looks at the British fascination with the most American of genres, Country Music. The film tells the stories of six British 'Americana' bands, while giving an insight into how country music fits into the British music industry."Sat. 2/25/12 9:44am glenn:
are those new york area d.j.s? i've never heard of them.Sat. 2/25/12 9:57am Danne D:
@Dave in PA - the computer actually makes a telephone sound when your web-pledge comes in :) so there was a cool ringing sound when you pledged. And thanks for your generosity :D
Keep it going Bob and Ira! Bob's been on what, 35 years? If you can't pledge much, you can pledge $35 for all that Bob's brought you!Sat. 2/25/12 9:57am Danne D:
