Re: We're an older crowd here I do believe

We could gang up on SquaredancecallingSteve and send him bulk invitations. ;)

I'll send him one now.

Re: Jazztalk is 1

Thanks! Actually, Scott & I co-founded the site and Justin was/is the webmaster.

Well, Doug/Jazzooo, suffice it to say that we (3rd person) would be very interested in following this Frank Rehak project, as well as those personal musical adventures of yours in Mexico.
