[Rhodes22-list] Slim - Hold The Phone - Politics

[Brad Haslett]

Slim,

Thanks for the tunes.  Plan a trip to Memphis and we'll go do Beale Street,
tour the Sun Recording Studio and the Gibson Guitar factory.  I'll get our
baby grand tuned and we'll throw a party with our motly crew of friends.
Anne, you get your arse back here!

Brad
