You mean Lina Horn?

No, they spelled it right. It's Lena Horne, and I love her too. She is one of my new favorite singers. Actually, the song she sang on Sesame Street with Grover, "How Do You Do?", was specifically written just for her by Joe Raposo to sing on the show. She was brilliant. Last I heard she is still alive and in her 90's. I wonder if she still sings.

Well, I just meant her name in general. But thank you for the correct spelling. By the way, it good to see you here, bear. Havre you started turing yet?
