Thanks, Judy, for the lyrics.  I have many of her albums.  Indeed, I 
play her version of Leonard Cohen's text, Magic is Alive, while showing 
prehistoric art from Lascaux and other caves.  Another favourite is 
Universal Soldier (which many more people need to hear...)  I even saw 
her in concert once, here in North Bay, in a half-empty theatre.   
Couldn't believe she didn't fill the house...

What is "second-marking" a course?    We have enough trouble getting 
things marked once...

All best,
Ursula in North Bay
