Juke, Birthday etc.

["Michael Peloquin" <peloquinharp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was right in front of our noses-
Look at his name---Snooky PRIOR
Of course he played it "prior" to LW. Once again, it's all about record 
sales. How many people think Ray Charles wrote Georgia on My Mind? We all 
know that it was Michael Bolton.

BTW-thanks for the birthday greetings, I am 43 not 58 or 22 as has been 
reported by various unreliable sources.

Back to my cave to practice, Jason Ricci is too damn good---and young.
