Thanks for all those documents. I thought I never would see them anyday. Do you think there are any recording of the early years? I never came across any of them.
some of the concerts were aired at their times but sadly archives were destroyed, so chance to be able to listen those absolute gems is near zero :(, i hope to be wrong on this, someone may try locate vere johns legacy to check if there’s archives about the opportunity rock hour radio show wich was the counterpart of the opportunity hour theater show. 1 love mateus
Thanks you once again! One love!
