Tell Me Something Good

1. Met These Folks

My dad was the local liaison to a promoter. (City rules said the skating arena couldn't be used without a local nonprofit being part of it. My dad was that guy.)
About 10 weeks a summer, there were 3 band bills each Monday.
My dad's connections meant 4 backstage passes every week from sophomore year of HS until I finished college.
These folks were from Chicago, so they played a couple times a year. Every one of them were as nice as can be. Chaka was only 17 or 18 when we first met them. She had an amazing voice even when she was barely past being a kid!
We met lots of bands in those days!
