In 1964 Trini was kind of the Beatles to my 10-year old self & little sister & brothers.
My folks bought a Magnavox console stereo, saw Trini in a Vegas showroom, and brought home "Live at Basin St. East."
It was the rockingest disc in the house until I got a paper route the next year and bought my own stuff.

Adios, Trini.

RIP Trini.
Endlessly listened to Live At PJs when a freshman in college. Great sing-a-long drinking album.
Sinner Man was one of my dad's favorite songs. Still a great song.
Another piece of my life gone. Depressing.

When I first saw him on TV, I was at a stage / age where any act that showed up with a guitar was a hero. RIP TL.
