Something really cool happened this week. One of my fans...old like me, out of the blue sent me footage of my old singing group from a 1965 "American Bandstand" type of show called "Shiveree". Our group was on the hit parade in the 60's and did several teen tv shows. I am so old that color tv hadn't been invented yet! Some of my older friends will have a good laugh and remember the days...
I feel like this footage is a real treasure. I can't believe anyone found it and I am amazed that this fan would go out of his way to see that I had it.
Anyway, it is a scream to watch. Can you guess which contessa is me? Cole told me that it wasn't me, it was his mom!
I am 19 years old.
