Haha. Janie Frickey. (Or however ya spell it.)
She was a country, country/rock singer that had that 'Jose Cuervo' song.
"Jose Cuervo you are a friend of mine... I like to drink you with a little salt and lime.. ", etc.
At a local fair.
The bass was so loud and low that I thought I was going to be sick. Made your heart flutter, or at least it felt like it mine did.

Chicago Transit Authority, 1969 - I was in stage band in school and my parents thought it would be a good idea since we played some of their music charts in Jr. High School, so my oldest sister took me. Had a good time other than the big sis acting as parent treatment. lol !

John Denver in '75 when I was 4. I remember the orange glow of the stage and thats about it. I saw the Statler Bros around the same time. All I can recall about that was which side of the auditorium we sat on.

Either Wet Willie or Pot Liquor, a couple of weeks apart, 1972 or so. Won the tickets to both on local radio, first person to identify the song they played. Rarely took me more than 3 or 4 notes...also won a ticket to see Shaft. Decent movie...concerts were better though...
