Oh, FLEETWOOD4-5789! Nope, that was Motown! Fleetwood? That's a model Cadillac! Hey, there was a group named The Cadillacs! I just wouldn't name a group The Chryslers or The General Motors! Might have to reform as The Bankrupts!

Never been into radio! But, I agree, it's probably brutal, these days! Think I'll just stick to buying CDs!

You were correct! Second "Abilene" (live) version from the Grand Old Opry! Not that I didn't believe you; Bear Family took long to reply! :-)

Speaking of The Fleetwoods; was disappointed by EMI and their "Masters", when the pros did not provide this stereo version! Found it on one of those boots!

Another fluke, like The Poni Tales!

Thank you for the History lesson!

Best,
John
