Now that's a blast from the past! IIRC Sherman had his own TV show "Here Come the Brides" about loggers in Seattle. It was a rip off of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," but it had a nice theme song.

Eastern bias? He was huge when I was about 10. On the front of Teen Beat or was that Tiger Beat?

Now this sucks. One of my favorite musicians, Tommy Keene. And only a couple years older than I am.

I still remember reading that review of Places that are Gone in Rolling Stone, and then how thrilled I was a bit after that when I found a copy of his two very rare Dolphin Records EP's at The Record Connection in Waterville. How a bit after that, I was headed to Boston on a Friday evening, going to see The Bangles with The Hoodoo Gurus on Saturday night, and then The Cult with The Divinyls opening on Sunday, and wondering what I could do with my time that night. Coming over the Tobin Bridge, listening to WFNX, and they were interviewing Tommy Keene, who was playing at The Paradise with Lloyd Cole and The Commotions that night. Headed straight to The Paradise and got myself a ticket. And then, a week later, watching some live concert show on MTV, half Tommy Keene, half Lloyd Cole, recorded at their show in NYC probably the night before they played Boston.

Just a great songwriter, great guitar player. Way too young.

Edit: Oh, and this tribute is just too good.

If you've never been to The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, especially in it's hey day, it's really difficult to describe what it's like to be sitting there with 400,000 other folks in frenzied anticipation. To me, the absolute high point of the build up was always Jim Nabors singing "Back Home Again in Indiana."

Jim sings with the Purdue Band, the balloons go up, and then it's finally (Gentlemen) "Driver's -- Start your engines!"

Like I said, can't describe the feeling unless you have been part of it, but it was most certainly one of the greatest moments in sports from 1972 - 20014.

Strange and wonderful that Alabama born Jim Nabors became a giant in Indiana and at the 500.
