Rob,

Hey, ya did it! Good for you and thanks for the follow-up post!

I will publicly apologise for my error in calling 3 SR 'Abbey Road'. (A
little too fast on the send button and slow on the brain button.)

So, just out of curiosity, how did you pull that off anway? No secrets
needed, but as you say - not just anyone can get in there. I'm assuming
you're a member of the media, have a contact, etc. In any case - good work
old horse!

Mike T.
