The Blackbyrds Live at THEARC Theater "A Tribute Concert to the Life of Donald Byrd" performing "Rock Creek Park" Video produced by RPM Digital Media Group.
My classmate Don came back off leave in the Army stationed in Washington and I went by to visit him. I don’t have to tell about a guy who comes back home from service they got these high dollar audio file stereo systems. Well anyway he had this album walking in rhythm by the Blackbyrds.. Now me at this particular junction on my life I knew nothing about them but Don put that on the turntable the sound just jumped out of those speakers. Just solid bass mid range treble you could hear it all .. I was trying to talk over the music which was rude after looking back but I was excited to see my friend and how he was doing so well .. and he just set back and smile and so was I .. Music will do that to you. Then later on I start buying Donald Byrd and the Blackbyrds.. Thanks to Don and that bad stereo system.. That when the albums with the cover design were collective items. And anybody 60 or older have had their collections for years.. and rank up there behind the wife and kids. Remember this don’t handle my album like that handle it from the edges. And put it back in the protective cover when finished.. LB October 2021
Drove up to Vancouver BC @1975 to see the Blackbyrds at Oil Can Harry's and to our surprise Donald Byrd (their professor) was a special guest that night only...it was great!
