Hi Jeanne:

Well, if it didn't post, it did now. Thanks.

Say hello to my trombone playing friend, who looks like Tony Bennett,
teaches and freelances the shows in Vegas. Can't remember his name right now
but still remember his fine playing with us here a few years ago.

No, I don't want to start a new list so unless Bob Ringwald throws me off
this one, I'll continue. :-) VBG.

Cheers,
Steve
