["hazcon" <hazcon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I picked up an album of his years ago in a junk shop,his stuff AFaik was 
never released in Newzealand.The owner said an american merchant sailor had 
lost his money in a card game and had had to sell  his watch,records etc etc 
so as to be able to still send his wife state side some pay...thats the 
blues..
          Anyway I near wore that record out and as proof that it was a 
good one, someone stole it after one of our parties...
             Richard could sure play..may his new harp not be a stringed 
one. ;-)
Rick
