On a first listen“Morgan the Pirate” comes across better than “Reno” in its updated 1971 version…<br />I will have to investigate the previous post.<br />THANK YOU!aldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300257690596792230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770152982053960088.post-37899576013497778122009-08-17T21:19:50.940+03:002009-08-17T21:19:50.940+03:00Hi from Cy
