We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

 The Catalinas supposedly wrote Summertimes Calling Me on the way to perform at BKG in the winter of 75 or 76 while stuck in the snow. Or so the story goes…..
FYI...
I Facebook messaged the Catalina's and asked them about this story because I was interested to see if I got a response from them.
They messaged me back about 2 weeks later and said "parts of the story were true".
That's all they said so I assume the premise of the story is true!

 Went to a lot of dances in Broome-Kirk in the 70’s. So I probably saw the Impressions.
Same here. Definitely remember seeing The Impressions, Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose and The Catalinas featuring Harley Hogg and The Rockers in Broome Kirk.
