Hola Nancy, I believe he spells it “Witten”. Oh, and is Kent Rathbaum similar to chef Kent Rathbun?
Is Kent Rathbaum a buddy of Norman Greenbaum?
Yes, his last name is spelled Witten. Takes only a few seconds to google a person to check the spelling of a person’s last name etc..
Good lord, I am sorry about the typos. I copy and pasted and ran out the door.
and it’s Rickey Dudley and if you haven’t been to The Wine Loft, it’s a great place to get a glass of wine
This is blind solicitation for the Super Bowl $$$$$$ Love Rathbun B team
