Sorry Paul. I guess I just always assume that everyone here is
a *really* old fart like me! I do realize that there are some
young'uns around like Rich Lockyer, and apparently, you! ;-)

The Blue Shadows were sort of retro-country-pop, kinda like Buck
Owens meets the Everly Brothers, but with a more modern sound, if
that makes any sense.

PL> FIRE!!! duh duh duh... yeah I remember them :)
Hmmm... That sounds like 'The Crazy World of Arthur Brown' to me.
That's okay. We can talk about them, if you want. <scratching head>
Now let's see, who *was* their guitarist? ;-\
