Which tape?

Jer's colleague said about the tape:

Kate as hard rock?  That is definitely a new one one me.  For the record, Jer,
what does "SO" mean?  I assume spouse but what does the O stand for?

I think this is a great idea, though, maybe you could get a full-length 
article out of it for Val's zine.  >Is it still happening? Val<

A local collectors store has a slew of Kate singles, next time I'll report
exactly what is there.  They are pretty savvy about what is worth what but
when I saw the sheet music to LZ's Stairway to Heaven priced at $10 (!!!)
I almost gagged (I got this piece of music two years ago at a garage sale
for 50 cents! - I'll think I'll hold on to it).  He also informed me the
Born to Run sheet music book is worth a whole lot.
