I don't know how long he lived there before his family moved to the West Coast though..... I did know that. Denton was a pretty booster-heavy community back in the day. IIRC, also Pat Boone was a Dentonite. I read somewhere that Sly always had his nose in the Rimsky-Korsakov orchestration book. That would not surprise me. The guy's songs very often had SOME kinds of twists in there, and sometimes a lot of them. Beautiful. Too beautiful for this world. 1 hour ago, Kevin Bresnahan said: Not a bad cover as covers go... This is a VERY good record. I kid you not and I don't say that lightly. Quote
