Hi Jack,

LOL... I know that guy. I've even played guitar with him at a campfire
or two. The voice belongs to John Baker, a founding member of the Ohio
Valley Tribe of the Full Moon Bus Club. He's a long-time member of the
type2 list, and I am sure he knows about the vanagon list. As a matter
of fact, the OVT list is already ribbing him for taking his vanagon
issues on the air instead of bringing them to their list.

Happy Trails,

Greg Potts
