As I stumble onto things when I peruse You Tube, I am always compelled to share. This here… I cannot even imagine what it must have felt like to be in this place, to hear this music for the first time. I often try to avoid waxing nostalgic, but this is when music was an event, I miss that. Greatness personified.
