Holy Mallowly Bat Man:
we are one :))
GUESS THAT would include a lot of Jazzers both players and listeners
Heh DAN?
LIKE REV. TOM -BOB AND Deacon- Bob Romans, and of course would
include SHEIK Littlefield, and FR. Mike, for sure. As all beer
swillin' Tuba players .
How about Chick Singers ?? are they included or do they have a category
for them all by itself ? :))
Cheers,
Rev. Tom Bob

preachers, padres, abbotesses, caloyers, palmers, curates, patriarchs,
bonezs, santons, beadsmen, canonesses, residentiaries, diocesans,
deans, subdeans, rural deans, abdals, charm-sellers, archdeacons,
