[Phono-L] CAPS phonograph show

[Abe Feder]

Hi John,
were the heck were you I kept looking and did not see you on the dealers
list. I was right next to the "Mike-the Doctor is an and his son.I wanted to
tell you how much I enjoyed the HMV I got from you-I hooked up with Dan Reed
And talked a bit bith with Jerry Bias but did not see you. I sold some stuff
-it was my first time doing that- but while I did not have a lot to sell
but it paid for my table and gas from Mesa, Az. Maybe next year.
Thx Abe Feder
