[Leica] Got grit if you wan'it, Bill

Daniel,

As a one-time musician, I can appreciate the difficulty in getting these
shots, and I think they are great.  The detail in the microphone in #33 is
quite evident.  Looks like you have hit on a great combination of film and
processing for this type of work.

Now, kf only you can find some more of this film.....
