LIVE AT 5 or FAKED AT 8 — video killed the audio guy
Rock & roll invaded America in the 50s just as television was building its stranglehold on the culture. Once you heard a great song on the radio, the desire to actually SEE the artist intensified.

Glad to see he loves refurbishing classic pop songs.
