I had the incredible good luck to see Crosby at Fiasco's, his first time playing for an audience after he got out of the Texas jail. I was working in Hilo at the time, stopped by for food and a few beers (pre-DUI days !), and heard from the waiter there would be some music a bit later. Apparently Crosby was good friends with the owner, and had asked if he could play a few tunes for an easy crowd to get used to an audience again. No advertising, just luck for those of us who were there. He played for about half an hour. I went up to thank him after, chatted for just a minute. He said he had been nervous before starting, but felt at home after about three chords. A cherished memory.
