Re: Where are these bands from?



     Very true, it was funny. I am just surprised that nobody 
     else responded. I LOVE The Who, but there ARE other bands 
     out there. Let's not be TOO narrow minded.
     Especially since they were all from the same wonderful
     musical country that produced our beloved 'OO  !!

And sorry Jim.  That response about the band named Etc. 
just split my sides and I really didn't have a good answer
for you about the other bands you mentioned.  I hope you will 
post to this list when Who related items come up your way.
     
Good cheer,
Beau (would that be one lump or two) McCrury
