Guess I am a geezette. I know them all. I loved the Four Freshmen in High School. My son did sound for the current group a few years ago. They were appearing in a club here. Managed by one of the originals. They are all very young but sing the same arrangements.

A few of their 'survivors' play the condo circuit here

I know some but certainly not most!

That's because you are still a 'kid'!

I loved the young Geraldine Page in that old movie Dear Heart.

I saw her on stage many times--she had a lot of mannerisms but they seemed to work for her on stage.

Good! There are plenty of names I don't recognize. Maybe I'm really not a geezer after all!
