When I orignially posted the article on the passing of Fats Domino, I had hopes that it would generate some comments from Alex J. Ortolano who was raised in New Orleans. I doubt that anyone not born and raised in New Orleans could capture the musical magic that was that city.

On this day in 1969 I sat at my parent's house watching television. The country was in the midst of a tumultuous war, there was unrest in the street, and racial tensions were high.

Once again, I find out I was a better sound engineer than a musician and singing talent. Garbage in Garbage out (GIGO) is still alive and well in my living room makeshift recording studio.

Long before I got old and started living in the past, I was making memories rather than recalling them. One local group of musicians has been weaving into and out of my life since 1972.

Three college boys who just enjoyed singing together turned the world on to folk music, but they never considered themselves as fold singers. They were just entertainers singing at colleges.
