I really do believe that our back yard concerts were Sam’s
brainchild. He has always been a lover of good music, and known way more songs
than I ever hope to in my entire life.
When we were kids, living on Meadow Drive in Ogden, Utah, we
used to get up these concerts in the back yard, where we would lip sync to
songs from Greece. My go to song was Summer Lovin’. I don’t remember what songs
Sam did. This memory is very fuzzy. But we would make a stage, out of what I
really don’t know. And we would stand on it and sing into our makeshift
microphones, while the real music blared in the background. Neighbor kids would
pay a nickel to get in (we didn’t really get a lot of paying fans), and we
would sell popsicles and popcorn, also for a nickel.
That’s all I really remember about that!
