In 1959, Sarah released her only commercial radio hit, BROKEN HEARTED MELODY . It was obviously recorded to attract a commercial audience, hence the feel of the day (rock'n'roll).

Some of you may have seen my post of several years ago of a 16" calf hide head I started to collect autographs on when I was 16 y.o. I'm 65 y.o. now and have quite a few. I will list them below - hoping it works. I am in the process, as most 50+ men should be, of processing my Irrevocable Trust...

It could happen. Have a happy 58th. Buddy smoked ...

I agree (from my experience) that Berklee is NOT where one should study if only interested in a performance major. --Seek out many local teachers w...

Hi Mark I would advise to buy new, not used. I say that because you never know who partially at the big Mac you are considering buying.
