I saw Wilhelmina Mae do Hound Dog. MUCH better than the Elvis  
version. At least 'I' thought so. I was (of course) referring to THIS  
video. If you take it in it's totality, I (personally, you  
understand), think the playing is rather amateurish. Maybe they were  
just clowning around. I don't know. Me? I would have never let this  
be filmed if I were one of the 4 guys. Wilhelmina Mae? Well, she  
seemed to be playing better than the rest. The one guy..Hooker?  
(correct me if I'm wrong)..he looked like he was in pain.

See, THIS is the danger of me getting off of dial-up. I'm watching a  
LOT more stuff now....  lolol
