Hi Roland
Happy Birthday and many happy returns of the day.

Roland,
Happy Birthday!
Hey man! Just stopping by to say Hi. I just got tapped to bring my Conn 88H out of retirement, and I recalled your fine performance with Steffon at U of D a while back.
So I'll try and add another element to the Triangle Exception sound :-)
