Thank you, Andrew. Yeah, now it makes perfect sense as to why the album was
credited to The HeeBeeGeeBees; the members of the troupe were doing the
parodies of all the bands. I should have remembered that...
Thank you also for the web address. The album's titles really bring back
memories. The Kenny Rogered track was a laugh riot, as was the photo of
Jack Michaelson!
