Does iTunes charge the same for a 2-minute song and an 8-minute song? How do classical works fit into the scheme?

I'm going to plant it right in the center of my front yard.

He worked with Mr Rogers on Mista Rogers (the precursor of Mr Rogers Neighbourhood), basically they went to Canada to get their start, the American network saw the show and got Mr Rogers to go back to the US, Ernie Coombs took over as front runner in Canada.

Point being, that if I liked Mr. Rogers, I'd probably like this guy too. Other point being, he is so NOT Jim Bosley. LOL. Sure looks like him though. At least to my eye. Here's a pic of Bosley: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ys3toh" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/ys3toh</a>
