[78-L] Salvation and record plug

[David Lennick]

He gets off some great lines...I like "Men and Women Talk Too Much" where he 
accuses you of talking about the President, "when you don't know him from 
Adam's house cat". And yes, I am at the moment dubbing EVERY SINGLE RECORD BY 
J. M. GATES (unless my source is missing any). Solution to the weird grooving 
of the Gennetts was a 4.0 mil stylus, by the way, except for a couple of really 
worn ones (Amazing Grace, naturally) which played better with a 1.4 mil tip.
