I know Kenny Nolan. I was hoping to see a picture of him here....is there any pictures of him around? Wasn't the group later called Kenny and the Van Dykes?
never called that, frank was my uncle (my mothers brother) reading this told us the day he died, we just knew the year, its not even on his stone.
