Let's hear it for Grosse Point Eddie!

And Stubborn Kind of Fella--great start!

(Even if it was in the last Motowns-specific set we heard last fall...)
Let's get right to it.

Damn! I keep googling "vandella" and keep getting, like, health-related websites. These health-related sites refer to a Vandella Costumes, but I haven't found that exact page yet.

Dang.
nakes? On my plane?

Digging the set, but the phone keeps ringing.  Missed the Vernor's spot, dammit!

Damn, I *just* heard Martha's explanation of the name a few weeks ago, and I forget.  I think it was a feminization of the street where she lived, Van SomethingOrOther.  A nonsense word, acknowledged.

I believe it was Van de Lay Ave, named after Art Van de Lay, a famous architect.
