Early Creed


I had no idea Creed Bratton plays
a character of the same name on
the TV. And I further had no idea
that, for a few years (in the 60's),
he was in a band called:

    The Grass Roots

         
Ah -- The craft of life -- 'tis better to stay atop it than be trampled underneath.

Inside Baseball (circa 2006)
