Yes yes yes! My now-husband introduced me to _Selling_ on our first date, and I have been hooked ever since. We leaned to play all the parts on our respective instruments (flute and bass). I didn't know anyone knew Genesis was around before Phil Collins sang (although the first two or three albums with Phil singing are still great - _A Trick of the Tale_ being an excellent example; we had to ask a friend who was singing because for those first few years, Phil was still trying to copy Peter's voice). Recently, I've even heard Arrow 94.7 (DC, Classic Rock) play 'The Squonk" and (not sure if this is the correct title) "Gotta Get in to Get Out" from _Lamb_. If you haven't seen it yet, check out the Genesis videotape "A History of Genesis" at Blockbuster for rental, and Suncoast Video Stores for sale at $9.99. A history of the band, their solo adventures, plus their first "music video" where they're all about 16 years old. -Kim sunshine@american.edu
