Last week, the Chicago Tribune printed a review of a current theater production of Mamma Mia in a suburb of Chicago. Here is a link.

The reviewer slightly misquotes a line from Gimme, Gimme, Gimme as "Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away". As we all know, it's "the shadows", not "these shadows". He also says, "For everyone else, you can make fun of ABBA all you want, but its songs are fiendishly difficult to play and sing; I spent many miserable evenings trying to learn to bang out those minor keys on my Casio". In fact, most ABBA songs are not difficult to play. I play ABBA songs on the organ all the time. But I'll admit the chorus of Slipping Through My Fingers is surprisingly tricky until you get the hang of it.
