Hi Denny, Curious! Do you happen to know Carol and Ron Tempest from Barnesville, PA. My best bud, Doc Nagle, and I performed with them in an Oldies band back around 2007. Thanks!
Jim Batchelor, Wind Gap PA.
P.S. We chatted a while back via email some time ago when I lived in Bath (Lehigh Valley), PA.
