7 sweet easy going girls with a settled opinion about their destiny.

Were they intending to open up some sort of convenience store / boozer after the tour finished? You know, for petrol money…
I had that rider too. Forget who it was. I liked the girl bit and local band tape.
3 peice? Do you count the drum machine as a band member then?
I recommend the current requirements of the Dick Dale band, if you’re looking for an addition to this genre …
