Hey Steve but of course it has:

Just read my last post on the subject.

I can Babble with the best of them, :))

Hell I invented Babble and built the damned tower too in my former life, 
while running the Free Masons  Celestial Babbling Marching Band.  The first known 
such band in the semi-free world.  That should also put me in the coveted 
position of being the first Jazz Marching Band in History, so please tell all 
those jazz literati that you know to rewrite the history books "again" to reflect 
these heretofore unknown most important and musically relevant facts.

P.S.  like most popular groups, we changed our name int he 1960s, to The 
Native Sons of the Golden West Marching Drum and Bugle Corp so we could finally 
become a BIG NAME Group.  I think it still holds the record as the Biggest Name 
band in Pop in certain circles.

They don't refer to me as Rev. Tom- Bob for nothing. ya know.
