| Audiogon Abbr. Dictionary Sherod:LOL (laughing out loud). Maybe we can add GGL (goodbye good luck)? Used to be my favorite Roy Rogers line until 60's drug dealers wore it out. Would like to see it make a come back as it's a positive comment, more so than (see you on the ot... | |

| What is your favorite low-tech tweek? Ppridday:I believe Cramolin to be the same as another product currently/recently available, but unfortunately I forgot the brand name. It might be one of the Caig products.When I ran out of Cramolin I used electrician's alcohol for a while (not go... | |
| What was your latest LP find?? 1. Three sealed copies (found a dozen @ the thrift) of "Rebuild Thy House" featuring the singing of Shlomo Carlebach & Sholom Katz on Elana Records. My wife once mentioned Shlomo being an old friend/neighbor (not certain if this was in NYC or ... | |
