Thanks for that John. I knew some of the story but this fills in the gaps. I think it's amazing that you pre-identified your singer and she ended up being a voice student with incredible pipes.

Yes, Juliana wrote about some of this too in her memoir. It’s like she was always destined to join the Blake Babies.

I only know one song about Eva Braun, and it seems to have been written from Hitler's point of view.

Did Dan's song sound anything like this?

John - I do appreciate that you've been great on catch-ups/hangs over the years, and I've enjoyed watching your career arc as well.

Fun trivia - Moments after AG offered up the name, he reconsidered if "babies" was somehow insulting and offered up "Blake's kids." iirc - Anne shot that down instantly.

Enjoying this so much. This fan and former college dj who’s just a handful of years younger than you is really loving the stories behind the history.

I decided to make this chapter public. I'll go back to paywalling again for the next one.
