WHAT A REMARKABLE TALENT -- and what a find you have shared with us, Tim.
Notably, too, the somewhat older, grayer more mature Scott McKenzie decades later in live performance - albeit without percussion section chimes in that later venue.
* * * *
In "The City" [San Francisco] was another talent - lesser known to wider audiences, but a local big time favorite:
Stage name "Johnny Nitro" - who also passed recently, yet - like McKenzie - long recalled and oh, so fondly too!
FOR THE RECORD: "Nitro's" OBIT in "The SF Chronicle" rivaled in length the published 'ode' to a late novelist John Steinbeck from an much earlier era.

The links are a daily feast after the black & white recording of Scott -- a marvelous 'wake up' here in The Colonies late at night.
