Greetings

A couple of things about Yaz.  (I realize that there was some discussion of
Yaz earlier in the year but I managed to miss it..).  First: what is their
history (like, who are they, where are they now, like that)?  There is not
an abundance of credits on the album jacket.  If anybody wants to answer,
please send me mail, because as I say, I think it has probably been discussed
already.

Second: I lent my "You and me both" album to a friend recently.  I thought
I'd share his response.  He doesn't normally react in this fashion (and
may not again after being published here..).
