Today I gave 'Live At The Fillmore East' a spin. If playing it on a speaker from YouTube on my phone can be called a spin. This reminded me of something.
There is a YouTube series about a Brit rebuilding a chateau in France from the burned out ruin: "Escape to Northern France." He has researched some of the history of the chateau. In the late thirties I think, a small group of German Jewish kids escaped from Germany. They were supposed to be taken to the chateau by a woman but the police wouldn't let her leave so she told the most senior kid, a fifteen year old girl, to lead the group. They travelled on foot sleeping in barns etc but they made it to the chateau. They lived there until they were moved on eventually arriving in the USA.
In New York one of the kids received abuse because of his German accent. He was called a Nazi which is kinda heavy on the irony. This prompted him to work very hard at developing a New York accent and, using a phone book, he selected himself a new name. Bill Graham. He of the Fillmore East - and the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
Bill Graham died in a helicopter crash in 1991.
The Allman Brothers "Live at the Fillmore East" is a great album.
