[Dixielandjazz] Re: The Molly Ringwald's

[Grahame Parker]

There's also a listmate in Hamilton Ontario ( you know who you are ) whose 
daughter was in band a few years ago called the Dick Van Dykes.
Here in Phoenix there's a band named after a local TV weatherman, the Royal 
Normans.
Know of any other examples of this ?
