Bwaha! Did you see the gal who looks like she's sleeping on her hand?

Actually, I love these guys :) Music from my kid-hood, they also sang "Try to Remember"

No, he was born Robert Brammer.

Clint Eastwood he took as his DJ-Dancehall moniker, sort of like how 'gangstas' in the 90s took Tony Montero as a moniker/hero.

Hello,

I hope you don't mind me leaving a message about this here - couldn't find an email address for any of the moderators.
I would like to join the Jewishwomen community, are there any requirements for joining, other than being Jewish and a woman?
I am both of those!

Best wishes,

Anna
