Hmm...curious how that coincides with Al's departure from the group
eh?   I didn't know that, about all the leftover songs.  REally makes
me drool for a boxed set.  Maybe if  i live to be a hundred

Do you know any of the names of the songs not used, and who wrote
them?  I'd find this fascinating...
