      @@RickyCarson - I saw the similarities immediately Ricky as I was a huge fan of your uncle. Bought all of his records starting back in 1972 with "Outa-Space" when I was just a kid. I'm sure you know, Billy's music was played quite a bit on ST in the 70s. I so enjoyed hearing your story. Thanks so much for sharing and the great memories you brought to me as I watched you and everyone else on the dance floor.

Would love for you two guys to Facebook friend me." Can't wait to hear from Leland Ferguson and Wanda R knight and the female dancer who always wore shades and her hair in a long or short ponytail and a one color top and short dress don't know her name but she started being on the small risers.
