    Thanks, Don.
    You’re right about Tommy Edwards. He is but a footnote to that fabulous era.

    This was the best medley yet and it’s only Monday! Yes I sang along with every song, new 99% of the words. Funny how our recall is so magnificent when we thinking back 70 years ago. Gosh that’s making me feel old I got a quit referencing age here! I still feel young at heart, I believe that is one of the most important things. State of mind is where it’s at, and to have loved and still love it’s even more. Thank you Ray for this just fabulous collection of songs to take us on a trip back. Keep rocking sir! 😍

      Enjoy this day and keep on rockin’, young lady! 🥰
