    good lord…

    thanks

  2. stytzer Says:

    that hanging picture is horrible…

    no reason to be ashamed admitting having a crush on Olivia – she did look quite ahem “nice” back then!

  3. Bishop Says:

    Yeah – no shame in digging Olivia. Might I remind you of this LP cover? And much thanks for LPhair pic as well.

  4. darvish Says:

    God’s mercy on the hanged men. As for the rest of the covers, ho hum, nothing new under the sun.

    Peace

  5. oops Says:

    “Born Under a Bad Sign” was written by William Bell & Booker T. Jones and recorded by Albert King. It is not a Cream song… unless you mean the Smashing Pumpkins were covering a cover.

  6. Stu Says:

    Good thing my boss wasn’t around… she would have been very upset.

  7. Airic Says:

    nice work. very nice work.
