[78-L] Fw: Limited edition Miller

Thu Mar 19 15:21:46 PDT 2009

I have just purchased a multiple CD collection of Miller line checks. They 
say it's fifty hours worth.. Can only be played on computer.(?)
Just think...fifty hours worth of Miller broadcasts.
The Glen Island Casino,, The Meadowbrook Ballroom, ..The Chesterfield 
Broadcasts, The Paradise Restaurant, The Raymor Ballroom, The Cafe Rouge..
Just think...all twelve versions of Pennsyulvania 5-1000. Fourteen of "In 
The Mood", Thirteen "Chatanoogas",and eighty five "Moonlight Serenades"
Only three more days until they get here. Hah hah hah. I can't sleep Hah hah 
hah.
Slowly I Turned.....Pardon me boy....I'm stepping out with a memory 
tonight...Hah hah ha.............
