2322 "Bad moon rising," "Looking out my back door," "Proud Mary," melange of bits of songs (mostly not very well sung), bluegrass

Started out noisy at S5 and improved to fairly good at S6 by 2335.

Can't even begin to read the small print.
And the 2318z image.




Hey MyT, and maybe others,
You got my curiosity fired up and I saved my copy of the SSTV image,
tweaked on it a bit and was able to make out most of the bottom line.
I did a Google search on what I had and found the original image.
Now you can read the fine print.
Enjoy :)
