You guys were one of my all time favorite bands!!!! I live in Detroit. I got into your music back in 194 I think. I still have your album that i bought. I went downtown and seen the album "Giant" there and just bought it on a whimm. I had no clue who you were nor did any of my friends. Any way... I am the proud owner of that album and i still spin it to this day. Its all scratched to fuck but hey... its the original lol keep rocking fellas .!!!!!

Was at a party this weekend and threw in the old Woodentops MP3 fav's. More proof that you guys were ahead of your time, they're still e-mailing me asking who the hell it was chorusing Jimmy James and who sings the song with the valley girl and the cop. Great music, still great after all these years!!!!!!!!
