ok.. I'm new here and eager to post.
1976 (maybe 1977) - Mom and Dad take the family to an outdoor concert in New Jersey featuring headliners: The Captain & Tennille. (If you're over 30, please don't hold it against me; if you're under 30, they were cooler than KISS)
1978 - My first show without the folks. I'm in eighth grade, and my cousin (a 10th grader) has a classmate who's a ticket scalper. He includes me in a group of a half dozen 10th graders who go to Madison Square Garden to see: Rod Stewart.
It took me until late 1980 to start hanging around in the Village at places like the Mudd Club and CBGB. Long story short, I got really lucky. Because given my start, it could have turned out very very ugly.
...And I've told nothing but the truth.
SYRS,
Jesse
