Longet? Wasn't she indicted for murder?

She was convicted of manslaughter for killing her bf - the pro skier Spider Sabitch
Avatar 12:33pm kat330:

I thought as much. What's the date on that Volume All-Star, Charlie? If after that mess, can't imagine why she'd want to be anyone's "Claudine Longet." ;)

At any speed, can't wreck Connie's cords.

The thing I like about Charlie is, he back-announces "old school" -- first songs first.

@S.A. it's out of range, but the party music sounds like it's two doors up - our house and fence act as resonators.

Late again-listening to the last half hour. What? No tribute to the Dave Clark Five? Bassist Dave Huxley died. Seems as if weekly some mid century entertainer checks out.
