John Prine, Ed Holstein, and Jim Post when they were young and hungry enough to play a medium-size suburban Chicago high school assembly!Maybe Fred Holstein was there too.

Of course now I'm warped for life.

It seemed perfectly normal at the time. Now I can hardly believe it.

I like to think this in some small measure undid the damage done from an earlier (preteen) indiscretion-- yes, it's true, it's time I admitted it-- I went to see Herman's Hermits.

I was also lucky enough to see Cindy Mangsen and Anne Hills the first several times they played together, as they discovered how great they could be together, in a tiny bar that was an excellent listening room (the Barbarossa in Chicago).
