If James Otto were to punch you in the face, you would have to fight off the strong urge to thank him. ---

^^^ First there has to be a reason for him to even do such a thing and so far I have yet to give him one, not that its ever been my intention to. James would have to get down on his knees most likely in order to even do such a thing though because of me being 11 inches shorter than him. ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ > [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > Time wounds all heels. Er, or something like that. What I shared are lyrics to a song that is done by another of my favorite male singers, Hal Ketchum that is, from his Past The Point Of Rescue album named โ€œOld Soldiersโ€. ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ God bless you two and him and James always!!! ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ Holly ---

James Otto named the group _Sha Na Na_. They did not want to be called that. ---
