RFW

*In the late-Seventies/early-Eighties, there was no shortage of great bands in Boston, and none gratified in that special tingly way more than Human Sexual Response. Fun, vibrant, fantastic people, musicians and songs about life, you and licking Betty Ford's boots.  A very loyal local-tribe gathered on November 3rd, 2017. It was 40 years-on and all proved we could still do it!
