Pretty good memory, Harold, but not quite right. The song was not 
requested, it was one that Joey had planned to play. "Why Was I Born?" 
(always a good question!), a beautiful ballad from Jimmy Smith's "Midnight 
Special" record. The preset in question that Jimmy used on the recording 
was the 'Ab.'

After that, I set my whole preset panel back to stock. What a PIA.
