When I was 14 years old, my friends and I went to see the Mothership Connection concert in 1977 at New York City's Madison Square Garden! It was truly a spiritual experience! Glenn Goins was definitely under the guidance of the Holy Spirit when he called for the Mothership to come down, and God guided that ship! The people at the Garden lost their minds that night when that ship came down on that stage! I remember crying and jumping up and down with my friends when God guidrd that ship down in the garden! The crowd erupted in screams just like like the crowd did in Houston! OMG, what a night that was for me! I will never forget that spiritual awakening!

Elmo and I went to NYC MSG to see Parliament Funkadelic, Bootsys Rubber Band and Frankie Beverly and Maze. We walk up to the box office the day of the show and I say to the guy in the booth in a very nice voice "Can you give me a good seat"? He responded by giving me and Elmo front row seats for 10 dollars apiece! Now days you can barely get a cup of ice for that! A fantastic performance was had by all! Glen and I were buddies. He used to say to me, as he rolled into Plainfield NJ with that Blue on Blue Cadillac Seville " Youngblood, how you're the first one I see when I come into town"? I'd be walking up to front Street to catch the bus to Union College. He'd give me a ride to the bus stop. Glen was a nice guy. He'd show me how to be innovative with a a simple musical pattern. He also told me "Your hair curls up like this naturally when you become a star"! I remember going to his home after the birth of Kasette, his son. Kasette is sitting on the kitchen table is the bassinet. Bobbi, Glen and I are looking at his fingers. For a new born baby the kid had some long fingers! Glen said "well its just about time for me to go and hit it again" .Back on the road he went! RIP my man! Youngblood
