[Slowhand] Re: EC - Legends - rehearsals prior to 1997 jazz festival tour

[kavin blanton]

I was just listening to the live set of this show. I
was wondering someone out there has the 6 disc set or
at least the studio parts to it and if they would be
willing to trade. Please contact me off the list and I
will send you my "trade list". 

Thanks,
~Kavin
