  1. Missed out on yesterday’s snapshots but played along a day late. I did know Marshall Hain was two people but didn’t expect them to look like that - I think in my head they were more like Captain and Tennille. Always something new to learn.

  3. Another great edition of SS, thanks Rol. I also thought Marshall Hain was just one geezer with that name so (as ever) it's an education!
