Originally Posted By danyoung I never saw the Raiders with Mark Lindsay outside of TV, but I can sure vouch for the current singer, as well as the rest of the band. Smokin' show!!!

Originally Posted By Labuda ^^ Exactly! I had a winkie smile up there, but more likely to just wander past if he doens't have Dawn.
