I guess the first time I saw live music - it was a local high school talent show and there were three guys sax-bass-drums - they played HARLEM NOCTURN just like the recording by the VISCOUNTS ----- and the really cool thing about it was the blue & purple & red colored lights up on stage ------ absolute magic ---------- shortly after that I heard my older brothers Kingston Trio album #1 and the sound of the banjo hooked me --- been trying to play ever since.............
