The "#1 Intrumental Group In The World" finally made the final 9 for this years five R and R Hall of Fame spots. Took long enough. Don Wilson and Bob Bogle have worked hard all their lives. www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article
BTW, Bogle's health this past year has been precarious; it would be nice to see him at the Hall soon......

Thu, December 20, 2007 - 9:57 AMPhew!! Let this be a lesson, Boys and Girls. When you tell the Oompa Loompas you'll hold your breath til you turn blue, it can get huuuuuuugly fast! Congrats to Don, Bob, Nokie, Gerry, Bob S. and Leon...and in loving memory of Josie and Mel (whose widow and son are carrying on the legacy quite well!)
