Missed #1 and the first half of #'s 10 and 11. #13 I forgot about Holly and answered Valens and the 'Big Bopper'
so, what's that, 12 out of 15?

Of course, I missed most of this stuff 'live' and had to pick it up in re-runs (I wasn't even born when the Beatles were on The _________________ Show).
Gee, I'm with Doug. I feel old too. I missed two of those.

On the other hand, it was a nice walk down memory lane and made me think of days when things seemed simpler and clearer than they do now. It also makes me remember the good old days when Dennis could start a post that didn't end in a big mess! Big Grin

Thanks for the fun interlude!

Very good Mark. Now come clean, did you know it or have to search it? When I was in college I used to date a girl from Clear Lake and spent some time there in the summers. -Sailing community.
