Hi Tim, I hope this note finds you well. I am known for writing books and articles about John McLaughlin/Mahavishnu Orchestra. I am working on one now that will chronicle every single gig the original Mahavishnu Orch ever had! I see on your site, that you opened for Mahavishnu. (It says at the Bushnell, but unless you opened twice for them, it was more likely the Palace in Waterbury. :) It was a long time ago ... ;-) At any rate, one of the themes of the book for certain shows is "what was it like to open for Mahavishnu?" Do you have any memories of the show ... that you think you could share? I would be most appreciative if you consider my request. Thanks, Walter
