 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?   ;-\

     Martin
