As I was reading this, I was thinking, "I ask him if he knows where I
can find that record", but alas, I see you don't have it either. The
"Sounds of Bonneville" was a Hy-Fy record, I agree, great sounds. I
remember it being played at our Road Runner's Club meeting just after it
was released. I believe that Dr. Ostich brought it to the meeting.
