In the later 70s I gave Berkley School of Music a $50 donation every year and that got you a membership to "The Friends of Berkley" with that you got advance notification and best seats at a discount to ANYTHING playing.Also,at intermission there was a Members lounge that had free Beverages and Munchies.It was AWESOME.Saw Sonny Rollins,Chick Corea,The Marsalas Brothers,Pat Metheney,Etta James,Jeff Beck,and on and on for cheap and 10th row center.The crowd I hung around with when living in Braintree were "bike rockers" and I'd take a bunch of them[not to the lounge] and they were "educated" to some great musicians.For years they would talk about those nights and thanked me.Also "educated" a few women too!The program ended around 84 and I moved to the cape in 85.I've also got "educated" by you and others here.Man there's some great talent still'under the radar'.I used to listen to WERS-fm[i think] which was an Emerson college radio station and Eric in the Evening on WGBH-fm.I don't know if it's still on the air.
