DimeTravel 194 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Might not exactly be the right time of year for this to be uploaded, but I finally got around to fixing it up. I only see one other reference to this online & that's it. This is not from that same upload source. Another intersting little piece of the Hunter mythology & well worth a listen or two. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
