Before They Were Famous

Tubegroover, were you looking for the "Allman Joys?"

I saw Elvin Bishop at my undergrad college auditorium, (actually let him in the side door to the auditorium before the show, as none of the yankees there in Kentucky recognized him.) Wait... damn, that doesn't count. He was on his way down as it had been a few years since the hits. He ain't good looking, but he sure can play. [:)]

Albert and Dekay, you are like Forrest Gump! I would really like to share a libation with you one day, sit back and listen to the stories you could tell.

Charlie

Joplin and Hendrix at the Singer Pavillion of the old New York Worlds Fair in Flushing, Queens. I think it was 1968 and I was 16 at the time (went with some older kids and it was my first concert)....Unbelievable!!!

Charlie, I saw Elvin twice up here in Roch.NY in the mid 70's.He was awesome and put on a great show.He was fun to watch,rotting teeth and all!

Charlie indeed it was the Allman Joys.

Oh, just for my bit, its classical, it was Friedrich Gulda, and we both (unwittingly and later, wised up but unwillingly ) shared the same girlfriend, an up and coming pianist as well. Yes , glory days and so long gone.....Gulda died about two years ago and I wonder what has become of her.........
