Re: The Who Mailing List Digest V4 #308
I am a WHO fan from way back and I can't begin to say how Pete and THE WHO
has influenced my life. I was at the Cincinatti "stomp". I have the program
from that show and was wondering what such a treasure is worth. I have been
reading this column wanted to say that IMHO Rogers best vocal would have to
be "Lay The Money Down" on Odds and Sods. How many of you remember when The
Who was Herman's Hermits warmup band?
