The very first time I went to a racetrack was the summer of 1974. Monticello Raceway was having summer concerts just before races. Jay Black, and some version of the Americans performed for a half hour. Always a fan, but never forgot that night. Great talent. Apparently was in litigation for the rights to his songs at that time. I hope he had a good life from that time forward. He obviously was playing podunk concerts, fairs, revivals at the time. Also the night I fell in love with live horse racing.. was intrigued by Secretariat the year earlier.
Jay Black brought me to the track.
