You have excellent taste, Stacy! 🙂More, please? "He is" or "Cirice" you will love! Also "Mary on a cross" live in Tampa, awesome!
Nice! I keep spelling Cirice wrong. ☮️
Why bother?@@allengray5748
Ghost’s “Dance Macabre” is just as catchy and super well produced video…
“Mary on a Cross - Live” is a great demonstration of their live shows and enviroment.. all awesome 💚
Dance Macabre yes. Mary on a Cross eh
@@rockmetalplaylists5595 so “Mary on a cross” isn’t a good demonstration of their live shows
@@rockmetalplaylists5595 Don't be an elitist gate keeper dude. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and Mary is an incredibly popular song.
Literally every ghost song is catchy and amazing!!
Welcome to our family. You know if you have Ghost you have everything ♥️
Try Mary On A Cross Live In Tampa next 🤘
Happy to be apart of the family ❤️
Mary on a Cross live in Tampa is 100% the way to go, such a great performance!
I see what you did there!
First Rammstein, now Ghost, you're on one hell of an awesome musical journey and I'm here for it!
This was my introduction song to Ghost as well, and I was hooked! I suggest Cirice, Rats, Dance Macabre, Call Me Little Sunshine and Spillways as others songs to check out by them. I think they'll quickly become one of your favorite bands.
I second all of these but especially Spillways but mostly because it's the one I've been listening to most lately for some reason.
The first 3 definitely
Saw them last year with my Mum, Dad, Wife, Daughter and Son and I can honestly say that three generations walked away in total awe of the experience.
They cross genres of metal, 80's rock and even pop.
From a surface level you can enjoy the music alone but if you go right in to the lore of them you will discover how much effort goes into this band.
Would love for you to react to "Cirice" it is a great song and film clip.
I saw them open for Iron Maiden in 2017 and this was the opening song. I was instantly hooked and have been a fan ever since. Cheers!
Lol, same. I didn't plan on catching Maiden's opener for that tour, but was sooo glad I did. Even when they took the stage I wasn't paying too much attention. Nevertheless they persisted and made me feel like a fool for not appreciating them sooner, haha. Maiden has always been my #1 Metal band. It might be Ghost now. I'm not sure.
You gotta' try Cirice by Ghost...........
Nice review. Ghosts song Dance Macabre is a catchy tune. Their songs are also fun to learn on guitar.
Will have to check it out!
@@StaceyRPGReacts they have i think 2 or 3 versions of that video, only one is a proper music video
i would also recommend "mary on a cross" (live version, there is no music video), "kiss the goat" (music video version, i think its technically one of the episodes of the ghost story, and not an actually music video) and "he is" (music video)
then if you like these 3 ghost songs, THEN i would recommend getting into their heavier stuff, like "rats", "griftwood", "watcher in the sky", "cirice" and "kaisarion"
THEN their darker stuff like "year zero", "monstrance clock", "call me sunshine" and "con clavi con dio" (no music video for this one).
ghost isn't a heavy or very dark band, its tongue in cheek satanism in a largely pop rock to hard rock, i've seen them live, and would highly recommend seeing them live.
Yeeeees, GHOST! I still remember driving to school when I heard Ritual for the first time off Opus Eponymous and absolute loved it. That said, their first 3 LPs sound rather different and this song signaled a pretty notable shift to include more of an Abba, disco kind of vibe and became a band you mostly want to dance to. They're a fun, goofy band that draws heavily from 70s rock and metal. If you like this one, you're likely to enjoy a large majority of their catalogue.
This one of the best bands of the last 10 years
If this is your jam, you will love Ghost. Their 5th album Impera is a masterpiece. Their whole discography just is a journey. I love it all
Oh and check out Mary on a Cross live in Tampa 2022.
Official Life Eternal
Faith from a Pale Tour named Death
Spillways official
Witch Image official
Ritual
The Life Eternal video would do so much for Stacy!
I agree, first time I heard this song I was blown away! The song is so catchy, sound of the vocalist, lyrics, all parts fit perfectly and its hard rocking - a masterpiece!
Yes. Welcome to a world of Ghost:) It`s a Swedish band that kind of blends metal with pop with satanic wibes:) I recommend you to react to Mary on a Cross (live from Tampa) He is and Dance Macabre to start with. But everything is great from Ghost:)
I like Ghost when this country made them to change their name to Ghost BC in early days of Ghost with Tobias Forge sang Ritual. Because some of the right felt that Ghost made of fun of organized religions. They sarcastically humorized Catholic Religion. Hell, Ozzy and Alice Cooper have songs that satanic themes
Some of the women fans dressed up as Nuns at that Tampa Concert.
@@MrTech226 I did for the Chicago ritual this past August. We're called Sisters of Sin. 😁🤣🥰. it's such a vibe
Congrats for finding the amazing Ghost, if you loved this here are a few suggestions I know you will enjoy: Mary on a Cross (live from Tampa), Spillways, Dance Macabre, Rats, Hunters Moon...
Love that reaction. "Dance Macabre" is a similiar banger.
Ive seen them in concert. One of the best shows ive seen. They are also hilarious
Wow, Ghost. I am totally obsessed with this band. It's more one man's crazy project. It sounds like you would love them. They are unique in that they combine super catchy tunes and heavy riffs.
The 'front man' changes with every album (it's actually the same guy) - this song features Papa Emeritus III, and at the time, no-one knew who was behind the mask. There's a whole hilarious lore behind them. Oh, and the lyrics - the writer (the singer, a guy called Tobias Forge) is super well-read and writes lyrics that have many different meanings. Some of it is dark but it is always comforting.
Try 'He Is', 'Cirice' (which won a Grammy), 'Spillways', 'Call Me Little Sunshine'...
Love seeing you get a such a good first impression from one of my favorite bands. Go through their catalogue PLEASE. the suggested songs here are good starting points. There is a live performance from a Tampa show of the song "Mary on a cross" you should include with the music videos
Finally saw them live for the first time last August. I've been to a lot of shows, but they were one of the best ive seen. They literally sound even better then on the album hopefully you check out more of their songs.
If you ever get a chance to see them live, you won't regret it. They put on one hell of a show. The whole production is just out of this world. Can't wait to see them again.
Ghost are killer! Love their cover of Maiden’s “Phantom of the Opera!”. Would love to see them live.
Thanks from sweden on your reaction to Ghost soo good..😍
Ghost are such a magnificent band. Crack songwriters, very witty lyricists, deeply satirical, and always fun. Above all, though, Ghost is theater. They have a rich back story and lore they have created. Check out some of their stories on their UA-cam channel, quite silly and entertaining. Part of the schtick is they are a band that has been around since the 60's that you just never heard of. They have the anti-pope as the lead singer, who gets replaced every new album cycle (same guy, of course). They're up to Papa Emeritus IV, the 5th or 6th singer depending on how you count. The singer has been the same character for the last 2 albums, he was just a Cardinal on the last album before ascending.
Dance Macabre is the song that introduced me to Ghost, and I was hooked! I'm a Gen X punker and metalhead, and Ghost's retro sound just drags me in.
Welcome along! Thanks so much for reacting to Ghost! If you really liked this, then i'd strongly recommend reacting to "Dance Macabre" next, very much cut from the same cloth! A few people are mentioning "Cirice" which is also a great song but very intense so be ready for that!
Try mary on a cross live in Tampa, Cirice, from the pinnacle to the pit, rats, faith, Respite on the spittalfields😊
Do Mary on a Cross live I concur !
"Year Zero" is from their earlier days and is such an underrated masterpiece within rock music.
That echo you hear in the beginning is called a "reverse gate". It's technically an echo going in reverse. This is why it sounds like it's creeping in on you.
Ghost is the best thing in rock right now. You clearly have great taste. Well done!
Ghost simply epic have fun learning more about them!!
Welcome to Ghost! Squarehammer was my gateway as well. Ghost combines dark 70's/80's metal with pop songcraft. At the root of it is songwriting and production at the highest level. They are "spooky", but have fun with it. Some people call them "Scooby Doom".
Ghost is massively underrated! So many good songs
There is this Indian Folk Metal band called Bloodywood. These dudes are insane and they have really powerful lyrics. They mix heavy metal and rap with traditional Indian instruments and they sound amazing.
Oooo no one has told me about them before! I’ll add them to the list!
@@StaceyRPGReacts These guys usually mix both English and Hindi language and in case there are no subtitles then tap on the cc button the Hindi lyrics gets auto translated.
A few of their songs to start with, I'd recommend Danna Dan, Yaad and Jee Veerey. Their songs talk about social issues and trust me you won't be disappointed.
I would start with Jee veerey
Bloodywood are amazing 🔥🔥🔥 And they have the biggest hearts.
@@StaceyRPGReactsCheck out Yaad first and watch the entire video. It shows the heart of the band. These guys are saints
Welcome to my world. I am a fifty two year old and am obsessed with Ghost. Tobias Forge is adorable. I feel like a teenager all over again.
Keep going down the rabbit hole of Ghost! SOOOO many great songs. If you have Ghost, you have everything.
I went to VOODOO Fest a few year, alot of years back actually. Haven't had one since the PANDEMIC/ LOCKDOWN. TOOL headlined, they were great. But I didn't know anything about GHOST, but they played on a stage to the right if TOOL'S before the BIG SHOW, I was impressed, I liked them, this song was their biggest hit at the time, they put on a great show and sounded great!!!
Ghost is an interesting concept. They have built an image based on anti-religion (Catholic in particular) and is basically Tobias Forge as singer, composer and musician. The faceless musicians allows him to change them out without anybody knowing, so he controls the band in every aspect. He has cahnged his personna several times Papa Emeritus and other versions of Popes. Tobias is a Freemason, as am I, and this song is directly related to Masonry, but again, the whole devil aspect is part of the schtick. I assure you, as a sixth generation Mason and four time Past Master, there is nothing in the order about Satanism. Tobias actually laughs about the whole anti-religion thing. The lines "Are you on the square, are you on the level" is directly taken from Masonry. I find Ghost fascinating, as members are not known, and even Tobias was trying to keep his identity secret until it was revealed. You really ought to watch a couple of versions live ... they are quite entertaining.
Despite reports otherwise that he belongs to the Swedish Order of Freemasons, there isn't any evidence that Tobias is a Mason, and he doesn't seem to have ever claimed to be one. Unlike Anglo-Masonry, the Grand Lodges of Sweden and the other Nordic countries, which all work in the Swedish Rite, require all candidates to be Christians even in the blue lodge degrees, and Tobias isn't a Christian. The rumor seems to have begun when former band members sued him, lost the case, then accused the judge (a leader in Swedish Masonry) of unfairly favoring Tobias because he had become a Mason too. But there doesn't seem to be anything to that accusation.
great reaction. Me and my son both love this band and watching videos and shows of this band.
Ghost is so awesome. So glad you found them. This was a great one to start with . Glad I found your channel. ✌️❤️🔥🤘
All ghost's songs are beautiful. You must continue with this band. 👍
Welcome to the Ghost fam! can't wait to see you react to more!
It took me a year to get my brother to listen to Ghost. Now he's obsessed with them. Always glad to see more, and more people like them
I love his actions and the way he moves in the video... looks like he took inspiration from Charlie Chapin or something like that. Really fun to watch!
Awesome reaction, this song got me big time into Ghost. Been one of my fav bands since, and they’re great live too. Wore a Ghost shirt when I saw Nightwish in NY a couple of years ago, was up front, and the drummer gave me thumbs up.
Yees!!! New "Ghost" fan here??🤘
Live version is AWESOME!!
Thanks Stacey, and have a nice day!!!!
Some humble suggestions for future Ghost reactions:
"Ritual" from their first album. It's a little darker than what you heard here, but it's a classic.
"Year Zero" from their second album. This tend to be a fan favorite, with it's quite catchy chorus. Kind of a defining Ghost song.
"Cirice" from their third album. Now, every song on that album is just beyond amazing, but Cirice is the song that kind of made tha band big.
"Dance Macabre" from their fourth album is quite a crowd pleaser. A great party song, with a very sing-along-ish chorus.
"Mary on A Cross", their biggest hit, made popular by Tik Tok. Don't ask. Amazing song though, even though it was a B-side track from a two song EP.
From their latest album i personally would recommend "Call me Little Sunshine" or "Darkness at the Heart of My Love". Wonderful songs.
They've also made quite a few great covers. The following is of note:
"I'm a Marionette" by Abba
"Bible" by swedish rock band Imperiet
"Crucified" by Army of Lovers (yes another swedish band)
"Waiting for the Night" by Depeche Mode
"Jesus He Knows Me" by Genesis
"We Don't Need Another Hero" by Tina Turner
You have a goldmine of musical experiences with Ghost, so it's just to start dig into it! As a person who have listened to them since the beginning I almost envy you your journey of discovering them for the first time.
This is my favorite one from Ghost! But they have several other great ones.
Papa Emeritus/ Tobias Forge, the lead singer wore a DEMONIC POPE outfit, it was pretty cool 😎
The whole Impera album is a must listen, so reacting to any of those songs would be great. Love your videos!
“Dance Macabre” is awesome and the video has a Rocky Horror vibe
There is so much joy to be found in their music, especially "Mary on a Cross (live in Tampa)" where you get to see the monstrous fan base showing their love of Ghost; guaranteed to make you smile.
For some perspective, Tobias Forge is the 'Man behind the Mask' (regardless of the 'Papa' version of their lore), and is a fantastic composer/writer with an ear for catchy melodies and hooks. He has said that they wanted to be a "Horror" themed band, but their first two albums were primarily Satan and Anti-Christ oriented before branching out into many subjects including plagues, witches, the fall of empires, vampires, serial killers etc, but primarily a hard look at religion, societies and what it is to be human. No matter what they produce it is done with professionalism and plenty of baked-in joy.
Really enjoy your reactions.Truly honest and heartfelt interpretations.Keep it up!
Stacy
Welcome to Ghost World, Swedish Gothic Metal band! You noticed band is a sarcastic act (parody) of Catholics. Band started out back in the 90's by lead singer Tobia Forge aka "Papa" His bandmates are known as unnamed "Ghouls" But few years ago, former members of Ghost sued Forge. Forge had to reveal his name plus former members revealed their names. Ghost has a lot of songs besides Square Hammer such as Ritual, Cirice, and He Is Cirice means "Church" in Old English
Welcome to the Ghost fanbase! We hope you have a devilishly good time here! I’ve loved this band since 2017. They are so good and got me through some quite dark times. All hail Ghost!❤️😄👹
I currently have an action figure of the Ultimate Papa Emeritus I by Super7 in my personal collection, so you can tell I love this band! ☺️❤️
OMG so glad you did Ghost! I love your new energy. A ton of great songs, and videos, but next recommendation would be Dance Macabre, Cirice, or Life Eternal (which I think you will LOVE)
Love when I see the paradigm shift, of a new Ghost fan :]
If you liked the silent horror film aesthetic of this video you might like the From the Pinnacle to the Pit video. It has a similar style, and is what the newspaper in the beginning of this video is referencing.
Awesome reaction!
More Ghost please....
Dance Macabre is a great song to listen to. It's very catchy and so hard to resist a sing along with.
This is a great song by a great group. A lot of their music takes me back to my childhood of the 80s. There are some great songs by Ghost: Rats, Cirice, KISS The Go-Goat, Danes Macabre. REMEMEBER PAPA EMERITUS LOVES US ALL!
You just made me so happy -PLEASE go down the rabbit hole ❤
The lyrics are in reference to a Freemasonry ritual (square, level, nails in the coffin, etc.). It is not pro swearing allegiance to anything, it just alludes to said rites.
Welcome to Ghost rabbit hole ! One of the best concert experience i've ever had
I watch you for Pink Floyd reactions...I knew you would love Ghost...these are my 2 fav bands. There is an underlying emotion to the music
Welcome to the rabbit hole...dig in to the lore and backstory. I'm 62 and this is the most fun I've had with a band ever. It's all theatrics. Their live shows are chef's kiss. Each new album has a new character but same guy under the mask 😊
The fun part is that Hammer Studios back in the day were known for their horror movies, or rather classic horror movies. Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman, The Mummy, etc. All had the same kind of aesthetic as this video. They harkened back to the days of silent movies which included these extremely exaggerated expressions to convey what couldn't be heard. That the song is called "Square Hammer" is no coincidence I believe.
Ghost also had an extremely catchy purely instrumental piece called Miasma.
Another great song with great theatrics is "Rats".
Or "Danse Macabre " like so many others said. For the video to Danse Macabre I would strongly suggest you listen to Miasma directly before it. The video to Danse Macabre has a direct homage to the Rocky Horror Picture Show in it's intro. You will understand as soon as you see it if you know that classic movie.
Good Lord, are you in for a ride ❤
Dark, catchy and awesome songs to follow: call me little sunshine (latest album), faith (my fav album), rats, miasma (instrumental you won't forget)
Great taste you have there, lady !
Every single Ghost song is an instant love. ♥️🤘🤘🤘
Most
Stacey, I have been following your music channel for a while and I suggest you listen to an "old" 70ths psychedelic pop group 10cc that has so many superb love songs, among others "I´m not in love" , "people in love" , "the things we do for love" , "I´m Mandy fly me" and my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE "Feel the benefit" . I am now 60 years old and remember listening to these 10cc songs in the late 70ths then being a a teenager dreaming of love and romance and I have to say it all worked out to the best. Stacey, you are one of the most beautiful women and I wish you all the best, but most important do not the struggle in life bring you down.
Ghost's one of the best thing that happen to me 👌👻 TX from Québec Canada 🇲🇶🇨🇦🖐️
Great reaction, as usual; keep up the great work!
Thank you ❤️
Check out the video for "Cirice". Great song! I got to see them in Sept. of 2019. They put on an amazing live show.
Great first reaction! Liked and subbed. Welcome!! Ghost has sooooo much more to listen to.. They play a lot of different styles of music, and the band has a huge lore that takes more than a single commentary field to explain.. I'll mention some of it though..
The only permanent member of the band is Tobias Forge. All songs are written by him, or co-written with other contributors. For the studio recording sessions he uses different people than the ones who are contract based live musicians who he brings on tours. Tobias is a mastermind when creating music, and writing lyrics with double and even triple meaning.
Behind the band (according to the lore), is the "Ministry of Ghost", controlled by a group called "The Clergy" who in the late 60:s early 70:s wanted to push the satanic message through rock music. The lore says they formed the band back then, and the band released a couple of songs namely "Kiss the Go Goat" and "Mary on a cross". After the debut, the response to the songs and message of the songs were not what The Clergy wanted, so the band lay dormant until they "reformed" (according to the lore) in Sweden in 2006. They "re-released" (again, according to the lore 🙂 ) these two songs on the "Seven inches of satanic panic" single in 2019, for their alleged 50'th anniversary.
The bands first lead singer back in the day was Papa Nihil. For each album/tour cycle there has almost every time been a new lead singer of the band. To avoid a lengthy explanation about the rise and fall of the different, the first cycle ("Opus Eponymous" album) Papa Emeritus I was the singer.. For the second cycle ("Infestissumam" album) Papa Emeritus II was the singer.. Third cycle ("Meliora" album) Papa Emeritus III, fourth cycle ("Prequelle" album) Cardinal Copia, and latest cycle ("Impera" album) Papa Emeritus IV. All characters of course portrayed by Tobias Forge. All live session musicians are called "nameless ghouls", and even "nameless ghoulettes" as the current lineup includes 3 female musicians. In an interview, Tobias did estimate that somewhere around 15 different people have performed as ghouls all through the cycles.
Enough of that .. I don't want to recite the whole lore.. There are a lot of ways you could continue this Ghost journey, just pick a choice.. If you want to check out some of their more heavy stuff, try:
- "Faith" from the "Prequelle" album
- "Cirice" (Grammy winner), "Mummy dust" or even "From the pinnacle to the pit" from the "Meliora" album
- "Year Zero" from the "Infestissumam" album
- "Call me little sunshine" (Grammy nominee) or "Hunter's moon" from the latest album "Impera"...
More into the slow ones? Check out:
- "He is" from the "Meliora" album,
- The beautiful "Life eternal" from the "Prequelle" album
- "Darkness at the heart of my love" from the "Impera" album.
Feel like dancing? Do "Dance Macabre" from the "Prequelle" album. Wanna do some poppy stuff? Try "Spillways" from the "Impera" album. (That song is recorded in an old ABBA studio, and keys are played on a genuine ABBA piano)🙂
Then to totally throw you off of the "you think you have figured what Ghost is about"... I challenge you to listen to "Twenties" from the "Impera" album for some serious, serious metal reggeaton.
Remember... if you have Ghost, you have everything. Until the next one! 😉🤘
Great reaction! Never heard that his song/band before, but it’s a solid jam. 🤘🏻
the songs are all literally a story, and that is beside the amazing music
Great choice. I have listened to them since I was in high school and I’m 60 now. Still love Gilmore to this day.
You said you would possibly be doing a whole album reaction. Although PF is at the top of my all time favorite list, here’s a group and great album side Ive always loved. All the songs are tied together and you have to see the narration in between each song to put the story together. Are you ready. RUSH 2112 let me know what you think. Stay cool!!
You'll have a bunch of stuff to get through if you like Ghost. They have a LOT of great stuff.
Nice vid!👍This is my take on this tune: The song is ironic and is about the hipocritic way people turn to God and swear that the belive in Jesus right at the end of their lifes. Here its the Devil they turn to ”when the bells begin to shime”. And the song is about how the Devil is sceptical towards the honesty of this persons will to follow him - since this person never reached out to him before.
Ghost also uses terms used by the freemasons, like the square hammer, they question if ”your on the square?”- Are you honest?, ”Are you on the Level?” As in that they are all equal which is Freemasonry stuff🙏 Good shit😀
Ghost has a very black metal look, but their songs sound like 80s pop. I'm so happy you finally discovered them. Listen to "Hunter's Moon," "Spillways," or "Rats" next.
You really should react more of Ghost. They have a lot of good songs. One of my favourite band
Ok, i see you are on the square, you are on the level. Welcome to the family.
Well, this is a new rabbit hole for you to go down! Check out "Cirice", "He Is", "Dance Macabre", "Rats", "Call Me Little Sunshine", and their cover of Genesis' "Jesus He Knows Me". Watch the official music videos, they're helpful for showing all the different layers of meaning in their songs.
They are more than masks, its a persona and it's creatively entertaining how they handle the Papas with a back story and lore. Concerts are "rituals" with a presentation of being at a religious service. It's just fun!
Theyre really addicting! Most of their songs are that catchy but yeah, this is one of their biggest hits. I can suggest He Is, Cirice, Call Me Little Sunshine, Rats and so on but my probably most favourite one is Respite On The Spitalfields - the closer of their latest EP. Its like a hard rock ballad and everytime I close my eyes and hear it it gets so intense. Fantastic piece of music! Wished more people reacted to this one.
Go check them out live if you can. One of the best shows you'll ever see!
Ghost are fun. There's plenty of UA-cam videos explaining the "lore" behind the band, but it's all very tongue in cheek. They have a lot of gimmicks, but pull it off by being damn good at what they do.
Ghost..the best rabbit hole ever! best band in last 20 years!
Best live show i ever seen
I just discovered this band last year and they have become a staple in my music collection! You need to listen to "Mary on a Cross" next! The "Live in Tampa 2022" video is FANTASTIC!
Yes! Another acolyte for the Beast With No Name. WONDERFUL!!!
Do Versailles Revenant Choir live.
They are a Visual Kei. Melodic Symphonic Power Metal band, and their Concept is that they are Baroque Era Vampires who wear French Rococo inspired outfits.
YESSS!!! Ghost is one of my favorite bands to have come out in the past decade. Don’t be thrown off by their look or satanic vibes. It’s all an act. They poking fun at organized religion and the church.
They are super talented and multi-faceted and incorporate elements from the 60s, 70s and 80s. They sound nothing like what you would think they’d sound like by looking at them. Cirice, RATS, Mary on a Cross and Dance Macbre and Spillways should definitely be your next listens for a more poppy and catchy sound. If you want to hear older, darker and heavier Ghost, then Ritual, Elizabeth, Death Nell, Zombie Queen., Mummy Dust. You can’t go wrong with them!
Here's a Band with a unique vocalist, "Volbeat." Lots of great songs they're also very good live. Here are a few songs to start with, Seal the Deal, Shotgun Blues, Still Counting, etc...
I'm really jealous of you right now.
Ghost has a huge catalogue of albums and EP:s with not a single bad song, to my opinion.
The style is wide, but the tunes are always very good.
The albums are intended to be played from back to back, which makes the journey fantastic.
If you want a song like this, listen to Mary on a cross, a little bit harder, then Faith is more the style. Otherwise, I can recommend Rats, He is or of course, Cirise, which got a Grammy for best metal act in 2016.
I wish I could discover them right from the start again!
Excellent pick! You've been ghosted! Welcome 💚 Cirice is a must, you will LOVE it.
Thanks Stacey, I had never heard this before. I like it.
