Dear All, Many thanks for sneaking this information onto the site for me. I hope none of you were arrrested passing through customs. At least I have a group name (and thanks to Alan, a confirmed sighting!), but it remains weird, for such a wellknown song. I keep thinking that there is a solo version (by Gummoe? Wasn't he a Marx brother?). And of course when you try search engines with Cascades, all you get are a bunch of damn mountains. As I said, it is a start, and I am grateful. If anything else, like a date, turns up, run the gauntlet and add it, please! Yours, Peter

P.S. Perhaps a new dimension could be added to this, speaking of confirmed sightings. Close Encounters of the First Kind: some vague reference to a song. Close Encounters of the Second Kind: an actual reference, but without corroboration. Close Encounters of the Third Kind: contact! (er, a record or sheet music or whatever!)
