ps - fwiw - I met Al George when I was a kid of 18 working at Sam Goody's on L.I. he was talking about how hot vocalist Jayne Dover was. He looked around for a female to compare her with a spotted some smoking hot teenage girl a bit down the aisle and said something like 'as hot as she is, Jayne Dover was 3 times as hot'. Ah, memories. I don't think I ever saw him again. He looked like he was in his 50s and this was in 1970 or so. So if he was say 20 y/o on the Berigan date, he would have been about 53 y/o or so, so yeah. Sometimes you don't know what to say to these old timers or ask them about their gigs and bands and such.
