[AGL] request to subscribe to the austin-ghetto maillist

[Michael Eisenstadt]

i googled winston bode. apparently he was like Cactus Prior only less so

this ignorance is what comes from NOT watching local TV for a long long
time.

cactus prior used to hire a lame bluegrass group i was in to play
"functions"
in 60s Austin. i drove out twice F2F with cactus to LBJ's ranch for a BBQ
event  in his station wagon the kind which had narrow blue tinted horizontal
windows along the car's roof. i guess it was an attempt to approximate a
Greyhound bus. cactus told me many interesting things i hadnt known before
regarding which my lips are sealed.
