June, 1969 for me. My trio had no drummer and we only knew 7 songs. I remember paying "Hey Jude" first, and I'm sure we repeated all seven at least once. We were 8th graders, playing a backyard college graduation party for $5 each and all we could eat. It was more fun playing LIVE, than watching the college girls ... But only a little. (no redheads there)
I sang lead, and was on acoustic 12 string, a Guild, I think, and we had a bass player and a lead guitarist. I sang through the dry channel of the guitar amp - Mike wouldn't share his reverb!!! Grrrrrrr .......
Good times.
