I see you do lurk the list, Leslie? I stand corrected re you being
turned down-my bad for posting hearsay. I was in a big hurry to play
another concert. Since you made it public, I'll reply so-very good

checked Matt's myspace site, the Oh Boy posted there sounds much clearer
than the one on YouTube.

Re the cowboy hat, could you see the music?
