BONAS TRIVIA

Our journey through the wonderland of the early 70's was impacted by the sounds and poetry of the time. Walking through any dorm hallway was similar to walking down Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Each room would feature a different sound and beat usually shaping the the personality of that room and it's occupants. This fusion of music led to a diversity and individulistic expansion of our own musical journey. I am grateful for all those experiences because they aided in my maturing and broaden my scope of understanding.

Here are just a few examples of the sounds that shaped our lives during the period of 1970-1974. This list is not all inclusive and I would welcome any and all of your comments.
