[78-L] Goofy Paramount master

[Taylor Bowie]

To Han,  Malcolm,  et al,

My scanner is not working right...I'll see if I can have a friend do it and 
post it to the group.

Someone originally from Baltimore wrote me off line to say that this was one 
of the major department stores in the city,  and I'm sure they had a huge 
music department as they all did back then.
