My previous concerts were Herman's Hermits, The Cowsills and Paul Revere and the Raiders. BST was the first band I liked that wasn't geared toward the teenybopper crowd.

My first boyfriend's and my song was "More and More!" Ha!

Or was it "You've Made me so Very Happy"????? I don't remember "More and More" being a radio song. Whatever. It was one of the two.
