Perry Miller ("Jesse Colin Young" ) came to a small venue in Truro on Cape Cod. I couldn't believe my luck. He had a younger band with him (Youngbloods Jerry Corbitt and Joe Bauer were no longer with us anyway), and they were top rate. Mostly students from Boston's Berklee School of Music. His lead guitarist was from Malaysia, and that guy stuck with him for a while. I was always hoping he'd come back, but he died earlier this year. At least Graham Nash is coming back! Sadly, the venue in Truro has never had Leo Kottke. Maybe Truro can't afford him, although if they can afford Graham Nash, you'd think they could afford Leo!
