Be sure and let me know when you get a booking date. My husband and I graduated from high school in 1965 and "made out" to all of your songs. The Meyerson Symphony Hall in Dallas and Bass Symphony Hall in Fort Worth would be terrific places also to do shows and would bring in the crowds. The Tribute 1964 Beatles Show was a sell-out at Bass in May.

and the Band and a few staff members of the Concert hall. The show went on and
what a great job they did. I got a chance to meet The Happenings and they outnumbered their fans. Great guys and great music. I'm sure they remember. I know I won't forget.
