Not that there's anything wrong with that.<br /><br />PS--I have that Jimmy Soul track on a Spin-O-Rama LP from 1963.

Their choir performed one year at our church and was - like Ernie's Christmas in July downlods - worth it.Badgercathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03925488485746099049noreply@blogger.com
