"Trip to the Jacks" / "Brosna"

Another rescue mission, expecting the "POOF!" as the duplication, July 13th 2005, disappears. Too many go that way and the authors rarely return to offer the ABCs in the 'Comments' of the earlier and surviving submission.

Another of Gian Marco's valued transcriptions ~ in 'A Major':

Wow! I am always amazed at 'The Whiz' ~ it went "POOF!" as I was contributing the above for 'posterity'...
