I was a child of Rock and Roll, and i wrote a song about Rock and Roll.
Donald Johnson co-wrote the lyrics. This performance of the song took place in 1986 in Elmont. This is from our last gig in New York. You can hear the crowd chant “bullshit” shortly after we finished the song; i guess that they wanted us to keep playing.
Fee Fi Fo Fum was:
Alberto Hernandez-Miyares: Bass
Donald Johnson: Vocals
Mary K: Keyboards, Backing Vocals
John Easter Mills: Drums
Javier Hernandez-Miyares: Guitar, Backing Vocals
This performance was recorded at February’s in Elmont in 1986.

You folks were very young back then! Hard to believe you are all in AARP now. I presume this event marked an end of an era as the band never came back intact to New York.
