Oh, but I agree, the Archies rule, and if you ever get a chance to see Ron Dante, take advantage of it. I saw him in Florida a couple of years ago and he sounded great. And he's a really nice guy, too, and enthusiastic about getting most of the songs played live for the first time. Remember, Jellyfish used to cover The Archies Sugar & Spice live. So we're not the only ones! g On Thu, 10 Mar 2005 20:00:18 -0500 audities-owner@smoe.org writes: > Ok, ok... get those rotten tomatoes ready... but I'll go ahead and > say it unashamedly...
