5. I went to the preview and I cried during "Slipping Through My Fingers."
I cried in the same place in the play.

The movie was beautiful -- sweet and saucy.

Review soon, but not tonight.

Peace, love and happiness,

Radio Lady

8. Chiquitita
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwrwBDycQFs

I love that song, esp. the piano solo in the end.

Another favorite is "The day before you came"

10. I like the solo effort by ABBA band member Frida
other than that, like you, my favorite by them is SOS.

"I know there's something going on" by Frida (I know, it's not ABBA, but still..)

12. In my opinion, some of their best songs were not their "hits"
For example, "My Love, My Life" from the "Arrival" album, or "Like an Angel Passing Through My Room" from "Visitors".

I love ABBA and never saw "Mamma Mia!" on stage. I'm hesitant to see this movie, though, because it does look rather silly and from the clips I've seen, Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan can't sing to save their lives.

22. I had a friend whose brother had a music studio in their basement.
In the late 70s. early 80s we used to go down there and listen to all of his albums. But especially abba.
