  1. Thanks a lot for this. I encourage you to keep up the great work. I know it’s hard to persevere in a seeming world of indifference, but your work is appreciated.

    1. Thank you for keeping up with us, Steve. I appreciate the encouragement.

      And I’ve not forgotten you’re the one who has asked for news-related audio. I’m working on it!

        1. You’re most welcome, Harlow.

          And stay tuned. We’ve got some interesting things coming up, and a few bonuses from a generous collector.

  2. Thanks much for the blast from the past. Great sounds, and much appreciated. Haven’t heard Duke Ellington in years. Ira
