@ Ohighyo and Riff,
I met Joan back in 1977, I was a Runaways fan from the beginning. They all lived around here ( LA ) and played
a lot of local gigs, I was at every one so we all got to be friends.
Her bass player in the original line up of the Blackhearts, Gary Ryan, was my boyfriend in 1978. He was in her
band for 6 years.
Don't want to run too far off topic here so:
BOOTS: Wesco Boss, standard 11 inch, 100 vibram soles. -
Blackfrostt- Pappadeaux, Freebird's and the Texans? Dude, I didn't know you had a Houston crush.

^ I live south of Houston (Angleton,TX) Born and raised in The Great State Of Texas, lol…
