Yes, I vaguely remember hearing of the Lasleys, who were in Africa — specifically Togo and Senegal, but only because their children — Mary and Steve— were also at our college Mary was down on the 2nd floor, across the hall from some other people who used to be friends of mine but I don't want to talk to them at the moment. Everything just got so complicated and I don't need more messy people muddling around with that. Besides which, even though I like some of his songs, backup singers such as Mary could not possibly fill in the blanks. What would she in Africa know about Chilean slang? I did not even know that, and also I thought turkey was something to eat for Thanksgiving dinner. And what would that have to do with the price of tea in China? Mary Lasley was on a girls' sports team during college, as evidenced by yearbook pictures, but whether or not she had a sports scholarship I have no idea so I cannot speak to that point.
