First Concert I ever went to



It was at Wesleyan College and it was a sliding fee, I think we actually paid a buck. I had just learned to drive and it was a push button transmittion. Long before they had off road cars there was me, driving on the sidewalk. You'd be surprised how much room there is between a mailbox and a telephone pole. You could drive a car between them!! Janis Joplin's"Mercedes Benz" was very popular, "Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends, Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends, So, Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz". I thought of these songs because they both caused quite a stir when they came out, "Cream's" Sunshine Of Your Love and then Janis Joplin's song ;"Of great political Importance" by Janis Joplin.

I love Carole King's music. I bought Tapestry Revisited--it's a tribute to Carole King.
