[78-L] Introduction (a bit long)

[David Lennick]

Fascinating..I'd never heard that story about the Lasses (this sounds like a 
cue for someone to interject a trombone joke).

The Piddling Pup is a fairly well known party piece recorded a few times, 
including by Jackie Kannon on LP. List member David Diehl has been working on 
documenting these since the last millennium, over at The Blue Pages 
http://www.hensteeth.com/ but chunks of it are still under reconstruction, 
including the title section.
