[78-L] 3 seconds of WTF?

Ask Mike Biel how I "repaired" a skipped passage and created a monster by 
rewriting Gershwin (it was in a George Gershwin aircheck I swiped from a 
transfer of celluloid discs where skips existed on one side).

The locked grooves are easy to fix, the skips are far more difficult.
