YES! I did know that!
I lived about two miles from their facility, an absolutely beautiful building,
BTW, that is actually in Valley Forge (between Norristown & King of Prussia).
I owned a recording studio in Valley Forge for many years, and on our radio
spots we would say "...call us at 666-(insert exorcist sound effect) 5445".
We had many christian bands record with us, and some did have a real problem
with the phone number.
Like I said in my last post, there is a big difference between wisdom and
paranoia.
Have a great Easter!
