 WNUR JAZZ REPORT

 GUESS THE REFERENCE
 -------------------
 Last week's:
     Over by the window / There's a pack of cigarettes / Not my brand,
     you understand / Sometimes the girl forgets
 
 Only two people correctly answered "Him" by Rupert Holmes.  "Him" was one
 of the cutesy story songs he had in late '79 / early '80.  The other two
 were "Answering Machine" and "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)".
 
 Random winner is Michael Howie.  Michael, send me your address.
