This is Dan from the Philly Music Trade website.  I just had one of those "Out of Body" experiences that I had to share with www.tommyconwell.com.

I was in Prague recently on business.  The night before I returned home, I couldn't sleep, so I was watching a European Sports Highlight show on TV.  Believe me, there are no U.S. Sports on TV in Prague, not even during the Stanley Cup and NBA Playoffs.    

Anyway, at about 12:30 AM, on comes the Top Ten Highlights of the Week.  Number Ten was a series of great plays by a soccer player from Madrid, Spain.  I didn't catch his name, but he was wearing number.....you guessed it.....SEVENTEEN.

Through my groggy eyes, half-listening ears, and a distracted mind I realized that I had actually heard what I thought I heard.  Behind this highlight clip, they were playing the original version of "I'm Seventeen".  It lasted all of fifteen seconds, and by the time it was over I wondered if I had actually heard it.  I had - I'm sure!!

I thought you'd both enjoy knowing that all around the world, people still have an appreciation for great Philly music.
