Bobby, I'm so glad you mentioned "Jennie Lee", one of my favorite records of all time. I CAN"T UNDERSTAND A SINGLE WORD THAT THEY'RE SAYING.. One of the crudest, crummiest record ever made, but beautiful. And Earl Palmer's on it..

A friend of mine, in a schmaltzy kind of gesture, once made a mix-tape for his girlfriend Susan, full of songs like "Susan", by The Buckinghams, "Symphony for Susan" by The Arbors, "Susan I'm Losing My Mind Over You".. et. al.. She dumped him anyway..
