Saturday, August 29, 1964. I was 16 years old and had managed to sneak into a Maynard gig at Irwin's Winnepesaukee Gardens in Weirs Beach, New Hampshire, by helping Nat Pavone lug in the equipment. It was the first time I saw Maynard live. I only got to hear a few tunes (including an incredible version of "Maria") before my old man came in to get me. I always what the rest of the gig sounded like (it was the same band that was on the Cameo Come Blow Your Horn album).
