Egad: I guess I shouldn't try to write a post at 2:23 a.m. Even for  the 
terrible typist I am, this was really typo hash. Deadlines make rush 
artists of us all - but at least I edit copy before sending which was 
not the case in this post. But Bill's post reminded me of several of 
those no-name checkout counter LP's I had tucked away with West Coasties 
making up a no-brand name  or made up band name. Now I have to find out 
if my old Sherwood player can be rescued or start a hunt for a new one. 
Damn, there goes the budget . . . and THANKS A LOT,  BILL!! You Ozian 
trouble maker!
