[78-L] Billy Murray Tribute?!

[Bob Rice]

  Boy! Never thought that Billy's grave thing would unleash such a 
firestorm? I just thought he/it should get a bit of recognition? IS there a 
Billy Murray Fanclub, a Yahell group, etc?So WHO would you ask, 
anyhow?Survivors? I don't think so, IF Billy didn't have any kids?
