HW: What The...

[Bryan Young]

Oops, sorry about that!

I'm using the wrong computer right now, and don't have my scan of Lemmy
playing the violin.  It's unavailable to me until this weekend, when I
return to the farm.

If anybody wants this image, go ahead and email me offlist.  I'll save all
the requests and send them all at once this weekend.

It's a small jpg, probably about 100K, so don't worry if you're on a slow
connection.

Thanks,
Bryan
