    On behalf of Nick Deriso and myself thanks for the Rollins linky. I hope we passed the audition ;-)

    Thanks as always for the plug for AM, Then FM.

    However, for the record, we are serving up some classic Dionne Warwick soul/R&B covers, not Gladys Knight covers.

    Goddamn. What was I thinking when I wrote that?

    Hey, no biggie. It's understandable. Folks often think of Gladys Knight before Dionne Warwick when it comes to cool covers. This is the exception to that rule.

    I am SO happy that the infamous Linkfest is still going on. No, Halloween links, though ? I'm sure at least one free-thinking blogger has come up with the original idea of posting that little-heard, oh-so-obscure holiday nugget “Moster Mash” by Bobby Pickett & The Shit Kickers.

    Thanks for the love. How weird is it that I jumped onto this page right after putting a Dionne Warwick 45 onto the record player? I'm psychic, I swear it!
