Gee, I don't know Kaye. Vito Musso was just about always famous here in the
East USA. Ditto for Fire House Five. They were both revered. However, George
Rock does indeed elude me. Maybe faulty memory.

I don't see much "trashing" going on either.

PS. IMO this is a great list . . . lots of info . . . lots of ideas . .
lots of fun. It helps to remember that it is not about who/what each of us
is individually. For those who are disturbed by the list content from time
to time consider the following Musical Content: "You're So Vain, You
Probably Think This Song Is About You."  Well, it isn't about you.
