Sat Dec 15 15:55:04 EST 2007

Thanks for the hearty welcome, Bill!
I've been meaning to join for a while, good to have a jazz support group,
heh heh!
You can blame Bruce McNichols for prodding me to join.
and-
Good one--Steve--enjoyed that! You're one funny guy.
Is there a way to search the archives using key words that I am not seeing?
I have some catching up to do.
cheers,
Jon
