California – “I Could Make It Last Forever” – Single Review You sure get the sense that California’s Les & Loretta Fradkin do absolutely everything together, and likely do all that they do singing out loud & harmonizing the entire time. Like, you could even imagine it having a practical use around the house if […]Read More
