I'm sure we all remember from our elementary school "playing with the
phone" dialing "Mary had a Little Lamb" i.e. 321-2333.  In some area
codes, it's a valid number, in others it connects to dead air.  In yet
others, you get a busy signal or a "not in service" intercept.  Hmmm...

assigning of numbers with obvious musical value?  Did many recipients
complain after getting *LOTS* of phone calls?

Just curious (yeah, I know what you're thinking, GET A LIFE....).  I
guess my parents ignored me when I was young causing me to seek solace in
the telcom equipment within my reach.....:)
