Re: guitar and your pen

[rkmcd@the-onramp.net (Ryan McDermott)]

Hello!  I am new to this list and thrilled to be here.  I was starting to
feel really alone as a Who nut out here in the land of country and western.
 Thank God for the internet.  

Anyway, I often fantasize (daily?!?) about the same thing Judsy wrote.  If
we all could somehow write to and convince the members to get back together
just for a few new albums and tours.  There are a lot of us fans who
weren't even alive when The Who really toured.  Crazy idea, but hey,
wouldn't it be worth it?

Thanks for Pete's address.  Do you also have Roger's?  John's?  If we got
the idea planted in each of their heads......

Keri
