I have been looking for evidence to substantiate my previous contention regarding leon, Lola and the Marvelettes (Post #22). I decided to pick an area code at random (760) and dialed Beechwood 45789. A cub reporter named Farleigh from the Desert Sun in Palm Springs answered the phone. I explained the reason for my call and Farleigh assured me he would look into it.
Well, it wasn't long, before I could finish my venison tostada, that Farleigh returned my call. In the newspaper's archives he found evidence of a clandestine meeting that took place in the early nineties between the Marvelettes warm up band, "The Baker's Dozen", and a group of card soakers know only as "The Dirty Dozen". What makes this even more compelling though is the location of the meeting, the Bistro 29 in Twentynine Palms, just up the highway from Palm Springs. Far be it for me to doubt Farleigh's research and if I'm not mistaken 13+12+29=54. I think I'm getting closer to the truth.

Wow, how did you have time for all this in your busy day?

Maybe you should hire Darren.

I have investigated the Marvelettes' recording. While playing backwards, at exactly the 54 second mark AND 54 seconds from the end, the chorus Beachwood 45789 transforms into "..someday Net 54" You kinda have to tilt your head to one side and turn one ear from the music with your index finger in the other, but, it is there. It is there as plain as day. No "I buried Paul/Cranberry Sauce" debate here, guys. What is the real connection between this all girl band from Inkster Michigan and Net 54? Inquiring minds need to know.

Heading to Bistro 29 tomorrow to look for gum stuck under the tables. I'll run it down to Newport for DNA analysis. I'm guessing members of The Dirty Dozen are lurking on the Board right now. I realize this is a dangerous mission, but I wouldn't be caught dead in Inkster, Michigan.

I am afraid you'd be wasting your time as the Bistro 29 remodeled and sold the tables to The Birdie Cafe in Marathon FL. Of Course, a Birdie is one under par or -1, a Marathon is 26 miles...You can do the math (29 -1 +26) and see that the plot thickens.

I really don't feel like adding fuel to the fire.

But, Marathon Florida is about 154 miles from Boca Raton.

I smell a rat. Something's fishy about how this tale is turning. I think I will just leave it alone.

Am I the only one who has noticed that the Marvelettes other big hit was "Please Mr. Postman"? Considering how big of a part the USPS plays in our hobby, that cannot be a coincidence, could it?
