Out traveling, so I haven’t been able to post the last show of June until now. It was dedicated largely to a holiday already passed (though some are still shooting off remaining firecrackers).
But it was also the birthday of, among others, Lena Horne, Stanley Clark, Florence Ballard and Andy Scott (from Sweet, turning 76!).
Started with a memorial tribute to two figures who died in late June, Mick Ralphs of Mott the Hoople and Bad Company, and Bobby Sherman, pop idol of the 70s.
