| Lee, Lewis make their case to appeal committee | | Posted Monday, October 23, 2006 3:06:59 PM by Blog57 Team | | INDIANAPOLIS -- Two lengthy IHSAA review committee hearings were held Thursday, but don't expect a decision on the eligibility of Broderick Lewis or Lamar Lee soon.

(At least nobody tried to say that only Richard Simmons can truly define oldies by sweatin' to 'em.) In round two, I thought I'd travel back in time and see if a flamboyant star from an earlier era might have generated the kind of music that could be called oldies by some of us today.
