[NJARC] Something else I can't afford: a Theremin

Fri Jun 1 13:16:26 EDT 2007

Hey, you're a Philly-area guy -- how about The Nazz?

Yes, I have Nazz Nazz on red vinyl, Howabout the "Mandrake Memorial", and 
another Philly band called "Elizabeth"? (you should be more careful it's so 
easy to spot the "Man"), both circa 1968

Well disgust this off-reflector sometime soon as not to put everyone asleep!

Mod-U-Later,
                      Joe N3IBX
