Will,

You motivated me to finally get a CD burner. I have made you three
CDs. The tracks are listed below. Make sure you print them out, as I'm
not sending you a list in the mail. Each CD is given a code: BV-1,
etc. If you have any questions, let me know.

Although I think I know your taste, I may be stretching it a bit, both
toward the pop side and the r&b side, but it won't hurt you and you may
discover some new faves.

My usual post office day is Friday, so you should be getting these the
first Monday or Tuesday in August.

Enjoy,

BV

Will,

Here's a track listing for an Arthur Prysock CD I just burned for you.
I'll get to Hibbler soon and mail them both together. Many of these are
with Buddy Johnson and some are just Arthur, after he left the band.
