[Rick Hunnel]

Has anyone heard Bill recite the Gettysburg Address through his horn?

Man I wish I did have that one.  Reminds me a=of a time many years ago (roll 
stars credits here) Bill was at the 4 Queens (back when they had live music 
in a lounge there).  My buddies and I would ride our bikes downtown and they 
always let us in.  OK we were way under age but never caused a problem. 
Just wanted to listen.  Besides, all our parents were musicians on the scene 
and we couldn't do anything in town without them finding out.  Anyway,   Bill 
had a few (thousand) drinks too many.  He neglected to bring a horn stand 
with him and while singing (yes I said singing) stepped on his horn. 
Crushed it unbelievably.  He continued to whistle (yikes) for a couple of 
tunes until someone could bring him a new horn.  Now I know I have this on 
cassette someplace.  If I find it, I'll let everyone know.  It's definately 
worth a good guffaa if nothing else.

If anyone else has/finds the 4th floor walk up, please include me in the 
list.  I'd love it.  I definately have a few things worth trading...:)
