How many guitars did Jimmy Lindsey have to feed? Was it three?
Now Jimmy is great, and he was lucky to have hooked up w/Bobby Fleet. (and in
turn, Fleet was lucky to have Jimmy join his band)

I talked to Mrs Wiley the other day and got the go-ahead for Ferdie to play

My first one was a yellow Mickey Mouse schoolbus lunchbox. Rounded on the

of these metal lunchboxes were pretty

Baggies were okay and nifty, but waxed paper had a

Out my way, a gallon of gas varies. Average price for 87 octane is approx
