Back in the early 1980s I had the good fortune to do some (unpaid) underground radio. About three times a year I'd put together a show on the theme "The Children of Miles." Never ran out of material... Miles was a great nurturer of musicians, as was Duke, John Mayall, and Zappa. Hey, we've got enough material here to hijack the list for weeks! > But, none of this has anything to do with Pentax cameras... :-) Well, we all shoot Pentax, don't we? regards, Stephen Moore __________________________________________ "You got a Zarg in here?
