It always put me at ease. When friends who are not familiar with JC ask for a suggestion on where to start I would always play the song "My Favorite Things" on vinyl through vacuum tubes. If that kept their interest the next album would be "A Love Supreme." I do this because that is how JC was introduced to me years ago. I went on a mission buying his ballads and picking the brains of other JC fans who would share their insight on their favorite albums and songs.

To say it was an unforgettable night is an understatement. Enjoy the music.
