Since I was majoring in music at that time, I had worked up a pretty good repertoire of pieces. During one wedding, I was having a really great day at the keys--I was hot, hot, hot!

Here are a few more tidbits: We don't even need original manuscripts for the New Testament.

The US military considered the Lamborghini LM along with the Hummer back in the 1980's. The Lambo broke too easily so it was disqualified. The last I heard, the original test LM is still rusting away somewhere in the desert. I can't recall which military base it was though.
