I've uploaded a shot of the Fuzzy Bunnies to the photo section.
To view it, go here http://www.spectropop.com/go2/members.html
and select "Photos" from the menu.
Paul Levinson, you wrote their "Lemons And Limes". Rashkovsky,
you produced it. Can either of you put names to the faces of
the group?
Hey la,
Mick Patrick

Hi, Sean,
I have forwarded your mail to Maggie Stredder, the founder and
leader of the Ladybirds. Who else could more accurately fill in
some of the blanks and give first hand info...?
By the way, I have posted a recent picture of Maggie, as well as
Maggie's current Ladybird partner Kay Garner, on the "hello" page
of my website. Check it out. The ladies are a treat - to listen
to, as much as to look at :)

Very best,

The former Mirriam Johnson of Mesa, Arizona, (and the future Jessi
Colter) was the second Mrs. Duane Eddy. And, of course, later she
married Waylon Jennings. She still lives here in the Phoenix
metropolitan area. The current Mrs. Duane Eddy (as far as I know)
is a lady named Deed.

Are you kidding - it's available everywhere!! Any time I buy a CD I
think I might get the complete version but I only end up with the
short one. There was an Aussie CD compilation called "People Gotta Be
Free" which featured the long version - but it was obviously dubbed
from a single.
By the way, Miss Smith's Capitol LP features a song "God How Much I
Love You", which was O Dio Come Ti Amo from San Remo in 1966. The LP
also features A Piece Of the Sky (superb!),Walk Tall and Autumn
Leaves - as well as Over The Rainbow & Toot Toot Tootsie
It's a mixed bag indeed
Thanks Mick
Steve

Mick , according to Kev Roberts, The Charmaines that recorded for
Date and Columbia were a girl group from Detroit, so maybe they
are different groups.
There is a revealing article about the Charmaines in this direction:

I´m going to continue lazing around and petting my two hairy beasts
(Kike y Paca, my two cats).
Chao.
