TOO clever, Dan! I'm sure this will start a thread when Gunter-Man reads 
it...and Jim Maihack too!
It was really fun seeing you in SF at the Watters tribute...hope to see you 
in Arizona this coming weekend!!
I'll be so happy to see you, I'll even let you buy me a pint!! :~)

> Folks--
>     Just received a CD in the mail from Don Brayton, a fine tuba-picker i

> _Still "Messin' Around" after 25 Years_ (recorded in July 1975, reissued 
> in 2002).  Very tasty stuff indeed. Does anyone know anything about them
