    Greetings,
    In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.furious.com/perfect/index0821.html>, you'll find (among other things):
    MARY HOPKIN
    Sweet folk nostalgia via the Fabs by Kurt Wildermuth
    "Hopkin is revered, but she doesn't have a cult. Partly that's because in those years she didn't write her own songs. And partly it's because some of her material--or rather material apparently foisted on her by Svengali producers--was on the sugary or sentimental side. She is best remembered for her hit version of Boris Fomin and Gene Raskin's celebration of nostalgia, 'Those Were the Days.'"
    We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
    See you online,
    Jason
