I thought I'd do the same, but I don't remember every line, so I went back and found some great lines that the staff said in recent episodes. I hope you enjoy them. 5 Mr Branson to Lady Edith: Not quite, my lady. Links to this post.

Life's been good to me so far. - J. Walsh. Thursday, February 05, 2015. Tape A Concert - Make A Mint. I was recently listening to Elton John's 11-17-70. And wanted to find out a bit more about it. It was an album that performed live in a studio and broadcast on the radio. Tapes were made into the album that was released in April of 1971. Several bootlegs of the show were available. Which made me wonder what they were and what the quality was. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blogs I (sometimes) Read.
