[Rhodes22-list] Tab Benoit on KSLM

[Slim]

Saroj,

Glad you're enjoying it.  I should mention that when I put songs up like
that, I don't leave them up for long.  KSLM (K-Slim radio) is a very dinky
little web site with limited disc space so I have to delete what's on there
in order to upload something else the next time.  So I'd suggest you
download it now and save it on your own computer.  I'll leave it up for
about a week.

Slim
