One of the pleasures of producing these (what have been described as obnoxous) threads is that I do not need to check any of the details - as I know there is someone who will do this for me and have a orgasm on the spot - should they find some detail to correct. Another pleasure is finding out about people like Booker T and all the other interesting people who share birthadays. I am staggered at how many names there are which are totally unknown to me - who are listed as composers. |

They backed up all the great Memphis soul singers: Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave, Rufus and Carla Thomas, you name 'em. I heard them play with Otis Redding and it was a high point in my life. They were one helluva group. Elmer |
