[Heeplist] John Lawton news - album out in May

Mon Mar 31 15:42:48 EDT 2014

Hi Rick

I am getting more and more confused here. I have absolutely no  
recollection that I would have ever been on any Ronnie James Dio  
mailing list or that I would have had any connection whatsoever with  
his wife Wendy. How is it possible that I have completely forgotten a  
thing like that? I guess that's what old age does. As you seem to know  
so much more of me than I do then perhaps you could also tell me if I  
had a Dio website? I could have, couldn't I?
