The problem is we're not doing any more registrations here in the office so please don't stop by. Or better yet, call first.

Bobby Smith doesn't get nearly enough credit for the success of The Spinners. He sang lead on half of their hits, but everyone seems to think Philippe Wynne sang all of them.

Those of you under 30 probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

LOL -- esp. since that one was sung by GC Cameron, who Wynne replaced.

i'll tell you what the real tragedy is! the voice (the best singer ever, i think) and lyrics and musical arrangements of Sandy Denny, especially her solo and Fotheringay works, seem to be almost forgotten, except for a few British old folk maybe

fuck i wish she didnt die

There are plenty of white male Americans between 30 and 60 who know her as the female singer on "The Battle of Evermore." But probably not much else.

The Fairport Convention records she sang on were brilliant.

Ah. I guess what I'm asking is, could you tell a prospective employer you took these online courses and not have them laugh at you.
