29 December -- added info on "Waitress" to the Popes page
26 December -- moved the mp3 files to another site... got word from
the earthlink people that my site was generating too much traffic and
that they'd shut it down for a bit unless I did something. Apparently
they calculate the traffic based on the size of the site and by
trimming the size of the site I'll be able to accomodate more hits.
Anyway, right now there are links to the mp3 files that were here at
one point. Corrected some errors on the Popes lyrics page (nothing
major, added a word here and there).

"Boys from the County Hell," "Fiesta."
