Can't vote against the Del-Vikings........ When I was fourteen, I ran with three other boys, and we considered ourselves the "Future Del-Vikings" -- We'd situate ourselves under a Bridge where the acoustics were great, and sing Do-Wop for hours...... Oh, BTW, we did NOT grow up to be the "Future Del-Vikings", although I DID sing in the Peppermint Lounge with my Band, 'Filet of Soul' (Name Stolen from a Jan & Dean tune...) for a few weeks.... 15 minutes of fame !

I had an inkling that you were in a band but wasn't going to ask a bunch of nosy questions. Filet of Soul...love it :thumbup: Peppermint Lounge sounds like it was all dark and smoky :).
