at Okla State U way back then. Always loved the Kingston Trio. Would have gladdly donated a nickle (I think it was) to get help Charlie off the MTA.

You youngsters!!
My first Rolling Stones concert was at the San Bernardino National Guard Armory. This would have been around 62 or so.... I was a paperboy in Riverside and one of my buddies and I taxied over there. Cost us around 17 dollars.. And around 10 for the tickets(apiece).
Used to go to Dick Dale concerts at the National Guard Armory in Riverside or San Diego. Nobody plays the guitar better!! Jimi Hendrix learned from him....
Santana, Beach Boys, The Lettermen, Kingston Trio,.....

1962 your first concert!!
In the early '60's B. J. Thomas owned a night club in Jackson, MS...through a friend who was related to him, I got a summer job there (I was still in high school at the time & not old enough to work in clubs in New Orleans - but that's another story!)...one summer, The Angels came for a week-long series of shows in the club....B.J. gave me the job of escorting Bibbs (the little blond Angel) everywhere, his cousin escorted one of the others, and a co-worker escorted the 3rd Angel...though we weren't old enough to drink, etc., we were out all night every night at clubs with them...we kept the slime balls off them, drove them, etc.
When they left, they were heading to Europe so Bibbs gave me her cat...cat died while I was in Vietnam.

I saw the Four Seasons around that time too. Somewhere near Bayonne with the local YMCA group.
The Isley Bros were/are The Bomb....a great band.
As for the backup guitar player.......I'm guessing the lad who was famous for playing <span style="font-style: italic">The Star Spangled Banner</span> holding the guitar over his head
(I don't want to give it away!.....I have *that* one on my iPod too. Good for early mornings at the race track.)

'k.... I grew up with Miller, Dorsey, Ritter... Jo Stafford(!)
I still like "The Marvelous Toy" and all the rest of th' fifties as well...
Rolf: "Hang me 'ide when I die, Clyde..."
"Telstar"
"Itsy bitsy, Teeny-weeny"
"Wagon Wheel"
"John Henry"
"Purple People Eater".... "Play'd it from a horn on th' side of his head..."
But has anyone heard the Linda Ronstadt recordings she did with Nelson Riddle?
Her voice and me mum's are *spooky* similar... when Linda an' th' Stone Ponies did the first release of "Different Drum" I thought me mum had a ~secret career~!
Now when I hear Linda's voice singin' "What's New" I just melt to tears..................
I miss those folks. The "Greatest Generation" ones. We don't KNOW "sacrifice".

AH, YES!
"It went 'Zip' when it moved
and 'Pop' when it stopped,
'Whirrr' when it stood still
I never knew just what it was
and I guess I never will."
