[Leica] IMG: Bob Dukoff Mouthpiece

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Thanks for recognizing it, Bill.  For me, it is just a remnant of the past, 
that I prefer to keep.  I left college and the band business just as the 
fifteen-piece band was giving way to the electrified combos.  I knew for 
sure that engineering would provide a better living than the music business.
