Have you ever heard Rice Miller or Walter Jacobs live? Not being  
confrontational..just curious.
 Let's put it this way. For 10.575 years I have patiently read about  
Estrin, Clarke, Smith, Butter, DeLay, Rice, Wally, Big Wally, And  
whose the guy who always wears sunglasses, even inside, even at night?

Well. it occurred to me that just like on the evening news, there are  
only a finite number of stories, and therefore they must be  
constantly re-cycled. Sort of like the constant refusal of some  
people to allow Elvis to be dead, and constantly resurrecting him for  
'One MORE' record offer, or a re-hash of every single Kennedy that  
ever lived.

Such is the list. I have seen the same topics come up in a rather  
constant re-circulation and it seems to occur on a systematic time log.

So, maybe Jason isn't the only harp player in town, but I guess I  
chose him to be MY harp player for at least a while. So, I guess my  
intent was to enter Jason's name into the lineup. Sorry if I sounded  
'gushy'.
