Hey Alex,

Thanks for the Lesley Gore tribute. I had never heard the Billy and Sue number. I knew of it, but never heard it, so, that was a real treat.

Thank you

So Wade Flemons did the original of "I Knew You When"? I always thought it was written by Joe South for Billy Joe Royal (and both did great versions).

Anyway, thanks for the usual great show, Alex!
