We also saw an amazing revival tour about the same time, at UEA again , featuring a ( very ) aged ,Rufus Thomas - around 85? - just about still managing to boogie with Girls from the college audience , dressed in a Mustard Yellow "Culotte suit - with turnups !! <BR/>They sure don't make e'm like that any more!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
