Autre version

Superbe cette ancienne affiche avec Janis !!!

Justement la deuxième version est de Asleep at the wheel qui serra dont le groupe serra à Craponne.
Très bon groupe de Country et Western Swing.

Et oui, Pearly, moi aussi j'aime bien cette affiche et puis comme aujourd'hui,
c'est quand même l'anniversaire de Janis Martin et donc voilà pour sa mémoire !
