Ronny & The Daytonas

Ronny & The Daytonas - Sandy guitar tab

known for their hot-rod songs ('G.T.O.' made it to #4 in the summer

of 1964), Ronny and the Daytonas had their second-biggest hit (#27, early

1966) with this wistful ballad. Like so many of the entries in Andrew's

Ace Archives, I heard it on the radio earlier today (3/24/96) and dug up

my own scratched, off-center 45 to share some memories with the readers

of r.m.m.g.t. -- AWR
