The Magnificent and Magical Music of Bobby McFerrin
I had the wonderful opportunity to see Bobby McFerrin in concert
when I first moved out to Hollywood, CA in the summer of 1985.
I had never seen or heard of him before (this was a few years before
his huge hit, "Don't Worry, Be Happy"), and he was just the opening
act for jazz guitarist Stanley Jordan, but he was absolutely amazing!
