Aha,
I just finished reading BjOrns pit therea where you posted a very well written reply. I commented to myself “that was well writen thoughtful and insiteful post.”
As I continued to read the thread I was taken completely by suprise at your playfully ill timed request for TVelben to personally welcome you to the board.
Needless to say I had a good laugh! That was beautifully timed. Bravo.
On another note, these past few months I have requested “Western Union” to be played on our local oldies station at least once a week. By my calculations that should be enough money in your pocket now to buy yourself a bottle of that wine you drink.
So, Enjoy and have a great Holiday Season!

Osip that space rents cheap, but I have to share with Cecil since it’s really his to begin with.
Wow Demo, only you would know that the Searchers covered my song. With not a lot of success I don’t think. I have a copy of it and it sounds just like us so I guess they didn’t put enough of a different twist on it to chart it a second time. I suppose their strategy may have been to release it in England where our original version didn’t do as well as the US.
Zoggie you don’t either…do you? No I mean do you really? If you do then I love you too but if you’re only kidding then I just like you alot. Anyway you can check yes or no.
Ummm, the Stones? So, really now, what’s the name of the band? Is it Five Americans? It looks like there’s one by Jerry Butler too. Help! I wanna hear aha! Also, do you sing in it, aha? IIRC, you’ve said that you played guitar in the band, right? The version I heard sounded kinda Herman’s Hermitsesque. I love oldies. Is the album still avaliable?
Demo it was The Five Americans.
Yes I sang it.
Yes Jerry Butler had a song out called "Western Union Man
And yes it’s sorta Hermansesque.
And yes I was lead guitarist as well.
I hate to say this if for no other reason than giving Carnivorous Plant the satisfation but yeah you can plug in to Napster and hear it. Just type in The Five Americans or Western Union.
or…
You could buy a copy at cdnow.com Or Sundazed.com in which case I would get a few royalites to feed my 15 hungry kids.
I thought aha was the guy from aha. You know. “Taaaaaake ooooooonnn meeeeee!” I know you will all get a good laugh out of this, but I will admit it anyway. . .
I never thought aha was the guy from that band, but I do admit to thinking of that song every time I see his name. Now I’ve got the song stuck in my head… You’re all the things I’ve got to remember…
Note: I don’t want to be put in aha’s sig.
