Yes, David does a great version of Liberty Valance. Great old song and I love hearing it again.

Nice Mike Mills interview, jj. I like the song, too.
Hey, I just got back from Rockville but it was the one in Indiana. They are having their Covered Bridge Festival...lots of fun.

Thanks for the memories, Pam.
Me too Nightingale...it's haunting and I do believe the "town" is Rockville. Liberty Valance...I thought Pitney wrote but on www.genepitney.org I see it's a Burt Bacharach song...interesting!

Gene lived in Somers, CT...right over the border from where I worked 3 seasons in a museum and I always hoped he would stop in sometime!

Also on youtube...many videos of him singing in Italian and Spanish and oh I just love listening to these. And I think Gene had the most sexy, gorgeous lips/mouth wow lol.
