Lynn's Reunion Song

     A week before the reunion was to begin Lynn McCaughan and Carol Richards gathered at Jay McGuerty's house and recorded this song on Jay's old 4 track reel-to-reel tape deck. Written by Lynn especially for this reunion occasion the song was played in the dining room after introductions by Mr. Garcia on that long ago Saturday night. Now converted to the .mp3 format you can stream LYNN'S REUNION SONG if Internet Explorer is your browser and Windows Media Player is your default player. You MUST reestablish WMP as your default media player. To do so open up WMP and from the MENU BAR select TOOLS/OPTIONS/FILE TYPES, the SELECT ALL button, then press OK. The music should stream immediately for those with broadband connections. As usual dial up users will have to be patient. Run time 2:57
