Pee Wee Morris: [into pay phone, disguising his voice] Hello. Hi. I’m lookin’ for a friend of mine. He’s s’posed to be there.

Wendy: Uh, what’s his name?

Pee Wee Morris: His name’s Michael Hunt… uh Mike, Mike. Yes, Mike.

Wendy: Mike Hunt? Okay, just hang on a minute.

[raising her voice to address the patrons]

Wendy: Is Mike Hunt here?

Can you name the artist and song:

Yesterday I saw my love light shine
Straight ahead in front of me
You never really know
When love will come or go

Last Song: “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” by Journey from the album Frontiers (1983)

Great job Richard (@RichardAnsara) and Dawn (@BuffySlays)!!!

Feelin’ that it’s gone
Can change your mind
If we can’t go on
Survive the tide, love divides

Will anybody see the dawn?
