Scott,

Thank you. So that's why the NRC Log lists it thusly. Seems to me
"Saint Pete Beach" is very schlockish. No taste at all. But I don't
live there, and that's one more reason to avoid moving there. But
I'll change my logs.

The other stuff is of no great worth to me, but is interesting none-
theless.

Thanks,

Charles
