This reminds me that there's a new Kathleen Edwards album. I didn't love her last one, but I love all her other ones.

@Dennis, I did some research on Lesley for a book of mine and learned about her childhood in my native Tenafly and how she was already a student at Sarah Lawrence when she did the TAMI Show.

Gaylord Fields:

@Hughie Considine: Any dirt on what Yoko Ono's Sarah Lawrence classmates thought of her? (I'm presuming your book is titled "Famous Sarah Lawrence Graduates, and What Their Classmates Thought of Them, Vol. 1")

I will say that my book takes stock of Tenafly's greatest hitmakers, including Paul Anka, Jimmy Dean, and Glenn Miller, who actually had more No. 1's than the Beatles or Elvis.

@Dennis, I met you and saw you play at Strawberries Records in Boston, April 1st 1994. Pat and Jim played through mic'ed up Marshall micro-stack practice amps, the mics on them were bigger than the amps. I'll never forget that show, and I still have your autographs framed and hanging on my wall. Just wanted to say thanks for a great rock and roll experience that night in Boston!
