AUBURNAIRES 5/29/88

SAUSAGE! I've been grinning ear to ear typing this up, I saw alot of these memorable shows,
and remember well and really miss so many of these old groups, some of which are amazingly still intact.
I provided about 40 or so dates just to get the ball rolling and quickly
exhausted my files, but there's alot more than that now and it's all due to contributions.
Even more help will be needed to make this list more complete, and it's probably too much
to hope for, it ever really being totally complete, but what the hell let's try.

JCR is spirit-channeled through Bryce Rhude who is powerless to stop these "events".
