Well since the Facebook page bearing your name doesn't seem to be visited much, I'll crawl back over to m-space and say it's a real kick once again to share the same birthdate as the man whose voice is forever in my memory and my heart. How blessed you were and are to sing of sugar and honey and sunshine and things going jingle-jangle and not some of the other stuff going on at the same time. :> As long as your music plays, everything's alright with me! God bless you Ron-
