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.

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.
