[78-L] Earl's music and web site

[Taylor Bowie]

As I'm a fairly recent joiner to this list I may be preaching to the choir, 
but I hope all of you are aware of Earl Okin's unique and delightful 
music...I wasn't until I checked out his web site today.

So give yourself a treat and,  if you haven't already,  you'll discover a 
most engaging guitarist and singer.

Earl,  we have a lot of music venues here in Seattle where I'll bet you 
would be most welcome....hope you can make it out here some day.

Taylor B
