From the Rice Library?

[Brian]

From the Rice Library?

Nope, in San Antonio (home) for summer break.    I would say at least 20% of my music collection is from the Rice library, though.

RIP, RIP, RIP ...      ...  I am too old and old-fashioned that I want to have that silver disc in my hand.  I do not care for computer files much ...
