I’ll be coming back from The Zombies. If You Know, You Know
I would anticipate I’ll be a bit tired but if these two Englishmen and childhood friends, Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent can perform nightly at the tender young age of 78, I think I can make it too. Cheers, Gene
A 60’s and 70’s solo show ya’ll.
Cheers, Gene
