How they've changed :shock:

At least they are still around...sadly not the case with many of their peers.

Thanks John!

I was lucky enough to see them in concert around 1969 - one of the most entertaining concerts I have ever attended. I was not a big fan of theirs before that concert but became a huge fan after.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
