Wow! Thank you sheep. This is good news, and long awaited.

I was really strange watching BV4 103(ad) on a BV7(Beolounge) on my Mermaid (PC monitor). Like the hall of mirrors! Andy T.

I really wanted to see the Avant that he had kindly offered to me. I presumed it was in the back room. "It's this one!" said Jay and Tara in unison. Ehhhh, how sweet! The ribbon was for me!

Around noon, I arrived at Iconic AV and parked the van. Jay was waiting for me and he took me upstairs to meet Tara again.
