1973: I  was living in Tucson. Rode a rat CB750 to see them in Tempe AZ. I think I did, its all such a blur...  I'm here so I must have made it back.

I think I lost a good portion of my hearing to "Baby won't you let me rock and roll ya" over the old ear muff headphones. Age 17, a cb 750
with 700 miles, Ten Years After, and women with Halter Tops. Man, now that I think about it, only thing left is a cd of "A Space in time"
Getting old sucks.
