Sources

My original intent was to put source links with each name. However, web address changes and discontinued sites resulted in many broken links. So I put links with individual names only if the site was long-standing and pertained just to that individual. Here are links to sites where I found info on multiple performers. If you have a webpage about someone on this site that you would like to have included email me.
