...explain the shortage of instrumentals or breakneck showstoppers; there is a hoedown finale of "Big Mon" but no "Uncle Pen," "Rawhide" or "Hoppin' John." What we do get is Bruce Hornsby turning in an unexpectedly effective, moody version of "Darlin' Corey," John Fogerty lending the Creedence treatment to "Blue Moon of Kentucky," and the Dixie Chicks showing off creditable playing skills in their duet with Skaggs on "Walk Softly," which has been nominated for a Grammy.

One Mars-size chunk, by that calculation, would have slammed into Earth only 50 million years before the crystal formed, ejecting enough material to create the moon. Says University of Wisconsin (Madison) geologist John Valley: "Perhaps the moon formed earlier than we thought, or by a different process...
