[Coco] Read it and weep

On Tuesday 28 January 2014 11:45:39 Bill Pierce did opine:

And a lot of it did, covered by quite a few others.  But no one seemed to 
have quite the easy flowing, but great diction that Pete did.

I wonder if his 4 string will ever show up at Christy's?  It should draw a 
pretty good bid I'd think, since it positively reeks of music history.

Cheers, Gene
