Here's a memory from Michele Conroy:

Hi I came across your website today because I use to know Gary Hall and the Top Kats and The Kittens. I can see from the other pictures that Gary had different groups though the years. I met them in 75 and knew them for a few years. They use to perform at a place in Palos Hills IL and I traveled to Springfield, Il to see them and outside of St. Louis and they were breaking up because Gary was doing a picture with Burt Lancaster I don't know if it ever happened. I was friends with  the bass player David Jones he stay at my place for a week when they played Palos. It was great finding your site a little blast from the past. Sorry I went on so long. I loved the group they were so talented. Thanks again. My name is Michele.
