Good tune, always tastefully unexpected, Rick. Explain the title, please.

Thanks Janet. The title is an English spelling of the Russian word (pronounced Aht-vyet, second syllable accented) for Answer or Response, which could be "the" answer or "an" answer or just plain answer, as there are no definite or indefinite articles in Russian. in this instance it's just a playful response to a coincidental similar tune posted by another Hangouter. Probably more than you wanted to know. :>)
