I'm impressed gents.............

 

[jlada]

The odd thing is, that last author looks so incredibly familiar, but I just can't seem to find him.

Now the composer -- complete crapshoot.

I demand hints.

 

[Satchmo]

I'm right there also. I was thinking that author might be ol' Bill Faulkner.

AND Charlie CONGRATULATIONS on the milestone. Without BOTLs like you the place wouldn't be the same. Thanks again for the contest and for helping me out when I needed info during the fires last year - I was hella worried and you kept me from getting in the truck and driving out there to take care of bidnes. Much appreciated brother.
