<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for the dissertation washboards. Someone
had to come foreword.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ray Iverson used to place Mike Johnsons washboard
under the rear wheel of my van when we'd park to go in to eat on our way to
Sacramento, or where ever. He even chastised Mike, in a club in Reno, where he
knew the group, for stating he was a washboard player. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bill, I knew you played many instruments and are an
excellent musician, who enjoys entertaining the audience.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I might add quite well.</FONT></DIV>
