MUMY’S BEST

at Melodyland Theatre in Anaheim. I was a big folkie fan as a kid, and the Trio was my favorite band. My best pal Scott was really into them, too. We went to this 1967 gig and in between songs, John Stewart of the Trio is in the audience. Billy, come backstage after the show.” I was blown away. Those guys were heroes to me. Scott and I hung with all three of them, had 7UPS and within a few years time, John Stewart was mentoring my band, Redwood, and we were opening for him whenever he gigged in Southern California.
