Fantastic news, John! Go Rev-Ola. Don't think I've heard the song
"Highway" - was that a single?
As an addendum, I corresponded with someone at Hip-O Select a few weeks ago
to ask about the contents of their proposed Emitt Rhodes box set. He said
they were scheduled to have lunch with Emitt in the next few weeks and would
have a better sense of things after that meeting.
Wondering now if their box set will only include solo stuff and not the
Merry-Go-Round material?
Amy
