17. best female rock band to come out of Nashville (not that they
necessarily knew that at the time.) [I know what you’re saying:
“Sure you’d pick them. You’re from the 60s.” So my pick for best
MALE band? The current Kings of Leon, obvi.]
Back to the girls: Local bulletin board: “Dan Loves Mindy”
WKDA D.J. Dan (Hoffman) & Mindy Dalton, lead singer & primary songwriter.
