Iso,

Kudos on SWC. Should've paid more attention to that call. -g-

IMHO, campaign finance reform never would have passed the House without Enron. The White House was afraid to oppose it.

Hopefully a whole lot more changes will come - in the form of greater oversight - before the momentum fades.

And *OT* - Did not know that Waylon Jennings was Buddy Holly's bassist and gave up his seat on the infamous plane (along with guitarist Tommy Allsup) to Richie Valens and the Big Bopper.

"As a teenage disc jockey in Lubbock, Tex., he met an aspiring musician a year his junior, Buddy Holly, who in a few years would became famous for songs such as "Peggy Sue" and "That'll Be the Day."

"Holly signed up Mr. Jennings as a bassist in his band and also produced Mr. Jennings's first recording in 1958, which featured "Jole Blon" and "When Sin Stops." Holly played guitar on those first cuts -- with versatile saxophone player King Curtis lending some licks -- and continued to use Mr. Jennings in the Crickets.

"In a twist of fate, Mr. Jennings and Crickets guitarist Tommy Allsup were not aboard the plane that crashed on Feb. 3, 1959, killing Holly and two other pop stars, Ritchie Valens and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson. Valens and Richardson were appearing on the bill with the Crickets on a Midwestern tour, and Mr. Jennings and Allsup gave up their seats on the plane to them."
