I'll go with:     "Rip, the rage since he reappeared."
I'm glad that this great band is being kept alive in ears other than mine.
I played on the band in 1952. Both she and Boyd were sweethearts and were 
taken way too soon.
It's probably well known by now that off the stand she had a pretty serious 
stammer but not a hint of it on vocals.
