[78-L] 78-L Digest, Vol 38, Issue 33

A couple of years ago, I was at a radio meet and attached my cell phone 
to the throat of a radio petal horn with rubber bands.  Sounded pretty 
good and had people wondering what was going on.  I have about a couple 
dozen songs loaded on and it will play them with a preprogrammed list.
