c. November 1970
Steve & I didn’t hang out to much, me not being a musician and he not being at Eastridge (as I remember it). And I left Rochester in 1972, so we didn’t have much chance to overlap.
What we did have in common – loving to go to concerts and loving to tape shows, and we’d see each other at shows often. Steve was even willing to lend me his recorder several times (his was STEREO, mine was a cheap mono). I was thinking of him a few weeks ago – I was making a disc of a Red White & Blues Band show that I gave to Werner Fritsching (also now a New Yorker). I may have made that recording with the recorder pictured above!
Happy Trails Steve - sorry we only got to say hi in passing at the post-Alphonzo jam last summer. Thinking of you and wishing I got to know the ‘adult’ you, if indeed we ever did grow up. . .
