Gregg,

I don't know if you're aware of this, but when Jasper Clarke and I had the jam session at Murphy's Pub (1992-96) we put a copy of that CD on the jukebox, along with other jazz stuff, like P.J. Perry's 'My Ideal,' and Dexter Gordon's "Our Man In Paris."

I'd come to the gig early, feed the jukebox and sit at the bar. It was always interesting to watch the reaction on the rummies and bikers at the pool table as George Thoroughgood's "Bad to The Bone' gave way to Coat and Ron burning through "Pacific Leen Time."
