![]() @paul, it sounds like it was SIMULTANEOUS with Elvis' version. And hello Joe! |
![]() |
![]() hi all, just tuned in. people are talking about their adoptees? mine is sure to cause alarm w/the things he says. i speak of Andy Breckman. but since he's a nice jewish boy i went for him. --- now i think Shangri-Las. someone told me there was a touring version of this band with ZERO original members. friend called them the SHANGRI-NOTS. |
