Let's talk about the music and the artists - those who are still touring, and those who are no longer with us. Have you been to any good concerts lately? Got any pix to share? Visit any good oldies sites? Feel free to post links to related websites, online communities, and MySpace band profiles.
Also check out my Jeff Barry MySpace Group - a forum for discussing the career of this legendary Brill Building songwriter/producer who's responsible for such hits as "Tell Laura I Love Her," "Baby, I Love You," "Chapel of Love," and "Sugar, Sugar."
