1994

[lorcan58]

I have reasonably good stuff for 95 and 96, some less good stuff for 
93 and nothing at all for 92 I'm afraid. Maybe you have a few 
scribbled sheets of your own that you could contribute? :-)

I know what you mean about the memories though - I especially tend to 
recognise a sequence of 2 or 3 records and sometimes think I can 
remember the comment he made between the tracks. First sign of 
insanity, I'm sure...
