| In 1964, Roger
McGuinn co-founded the group that would later become the Byrds with
Gene Clark and David Crosby. Signed by Columbia Records in January,
1965, they recorded their first number one hit, "Mr. Tambourine Man."
McGuinn's solo career has included rock, folk, a one-man show "Live from
Mars," and recordings with various artists such as Tom Petty, Elvis
Costello, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Odetta, and a favorite Westco has
presented at the Irvington Town Hall Theater many times, Judy Collins.
The contributions of
John Sebastian have become a permanent part of our American musical
fabric. As lead voice of The Lovin' Spoonful, he is indelibly associated
with songs such as "Do You Believe in Magic," "Summer In The City," and
"Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind." Sebastian's theme "Welcome
Back" for the tv show Welcome Back Kotter was a
chart-topping solo. In 2000, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame. A PBS Special, Do You Believe in Magic: The Music of John
Sebastian immortalizes his career.
