[78-L] The Ridge Label (South Africa)

[David Lennick]

Speaking of Nutrocker, I heard that one for the first time in decades while 
shopping in the Niagara Falls Sally Ann. Their favorite station is WJYE which 
at the moment is All Christmas. I didn't hear whether they were playing it by B 
Bumble or Emerson, Lake & Palmer, but it seemed to go on forever.
