Thanks, Nancy, for Sweet Sweetwater Memories
“Does anybody remember Sweetwater?” asks Nancy Nevins (“It All Started With Three Days of Peace and Music,” Aug. 11). Of course we do! There are some of us around who saw the group at the Bank, or the Bitter End West, with people like Taj Mahal and Papa John Phillips. How great to have grown up in an era when a genre-bending band like Sweetwater could get record deals--and airplay!
I’m glad that Sweetwater was there to open our ears to different sounds and to inspire us to make music ourselves, though I’m sorry that we’ve lost Sweetwater members Alan, Albert and August. Thanks, Nancy, for still being around.
