In 1963 the Mark-I was introduced and changed the musical world forever. Thanks to "Les Trois Freres Bradley" !! I found mfg.labels/dates inside MK-I/124 of Nov-63, so Julia celebrates her 40th B-day this month. She looks beautiful for a lady having just reached her prime years of middle-age. Cheers, JK (no tummy-tuck desired, and NO boob job !)
