Mariska Veres of Shocking Blue




Met an old hippie in an organic food store in Wisconsin.  We got to talkin' about rock music.  I told him all the concerts I'd been to.  This guy had only been to one concert his entire life.  Shocking Blue.  He actually went for coffee with the female singer, and wrote to her in Germany (and she wrote back) - he still has the letters.  He kinda fell in love with her (in the summer of love) . . . 1969.   Things can still change in an instant. 
(She is the vocalist in the song "Venus")
