These nights became lifelong memories and wonderful stories to share with others. I once saw Louis Armstrong and his band play on a riverboat. So what if it was the riverboat at Disneyland, it was still great. And then there was the night in the early '60s when I saw hundreds of jellybeans raining upon the Beatles and hitting Paul's bass strings. It seems Paul mentioned that he liked them.
People are so generous.
At the Fillmore West I saw this jazz guy open for the Elvin Bishop Group and John Mayall. Herbie Hancock and some Headhunter guys. It was amazing to see how many people carried lighters. I went to a few shows at the Crystal Ballroom. Then there's the old Dandelion Pub - John Hammond sittin' in with Lloyd Jones and Elvin Bishop sittin' in with Henry Cooper.
