Robert and Eppy Talk About Seeing A Young, Unknown James Taylor Perform In The Late 60s

MILLER ROCKS — Project Grand Slam leader Robert Miller has Michael ‘Eppy’ Epstein (owner of the legendary Long Island rock club My Father’s Place) on his Follow Your Dream Podcast on March 29th and he relates a story about recent Grammy Award winner James Taylor. Miller was in college in Boston in the late 60’s and one night happened upon a young unknown performer at a local dive called the Psychedelic Supermarket … it was Taylor. Says Miller, “There were maybe four people in the place but he played for 2 hours … you could tell he was someone special.” Epstein concurs, “I was also in Boston at the time and immediately booked JT for several more local shows in Boston.” And the rest is history.
