Adios from an American Shadow

Back in those fine young days, a guitar-friend from Holland got all The Shadows records sent to him. I was hooked good . . .

So hooked, he and I formed a band and called it: (you got it) The Shadows. Since nobody in America knew of them at that time, we figured it would be OK to swipe that cool name.

Than Cliff Richard made a bit of a Bachelor Boy dent in America . . . Watched him and The Shadows on Ed Sullivan. Very cool.

There was a song . . . Blue Star, I believe . . . that was so very beautifully fine. Instrumental groups have long faded from the pop scene. Drag!

I join you on this side of The Pond in The Adios Friend goodbye to Tony.
