I agree with Stewart about the Turtles. I only knew the Turtles' Top 40
material until recently. I love Surfer Dan, You Know What I Mean, Is It Any
Wonder, Like the Seasons, Outside Chance, Think I'll Run Away, You Know What
I Mean and especially Too Young To Be One......wonderful songs. I got to
see Flo and Eddie (Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan) at California Adventure
last summer. They are still terrific.
