	12:35pm drr: Imagining what Peter Sellers could add to "Bus Stop" and "He Ain't Heavy."

	12:38pm drr: Sounds like the flute on Coal Miner by Nappy Brown

BTW, Film Forum here in NYC showed "After the Fox" a year or 2 ago & that odd song (the Hollies & Peter Sellers?!) played over the credits. It's a fairly funny 60s-type send-up of Hollywood, w/Victor Mature making fun of his image.
	12:58pm Stanley: That's made Christmas a little more bearable. Thanks Matt
	1:00pm Artie: Thanks Matt! Merry Christmas to you and Amanda!!
