Got my Barry Fey book yesterday,
and am already half way through it. 'Backstage Past', has SO many stories in it, and I was there, for many of them. Barry has a few pages about 'Sweet Connie', as in the Grand Funk RR' song, 'American Band'. I wrote about her, here, on March 28, 2007, remembering a WHO concert in St Louis. Not only was Connie memorable, but Keith Moon was in his prime and the opening act for The Who was some country boys by the name of 'Lynyrd Skynyrd'. Barry writes about it on page 150, and we remembered it the same way. Barry doesn't mention it, but her real name was Connie Hamzy, and I used to have a pink button with her name and phone number, but can't find it....
