It's 1973, a time when there were so many live musical groups to enjoy. A friend mentions that if you want to see the top group in the South Florida area, you have to visit the Beowulf in Lighthouse Point and catch The Trilogy. He also tells you to arrive early to get a seat at the bar that surrounds the stage.
The room seats 150 people and the bar has only 15 chairs. You're lucky to nab the last seat. You order a drink and check out the stage. There's a huge array of instruments: a B3 organ and keyboards are on one side. A set of golden vibes, drums, a flute, a guitar, many percussion instruments and mics on the other. You wonder, "How many people are in this group?" Just then, two guys and a girl get on stage. As they play you realize they don't need any more musicians. They cover it all, moving from one instrument to another. As they continue, you hear great music, from Dorsey to Disco.
You ask them if they do any Brazil 66. They play "A Slow Hot Wind". You order another drink and decide to play "Stump the Band". You request several tunes. They play them all plus medleys from Broadway shows and a bit of comedy. You stay for all four sets and realize your friend was right. You'll be back again to enjoy The Trilogy.
