have always loved Jose Feliciano... he got a bad rap for 1968 National Anthem... but he is good

Jose Feliciano is a national treasure.

My two friends and I saw three concerts that long ago summer - the first was Blood, Sweat and Tears, Jose Feliciano was the second, and the third was a double bill - Arlo Guthrie and Judy Collins! Saratoga Performing Arts Center here in New York, good times and memories.
