Janis on Janis

STORY BY: Janis Evans
YEAR: 1967
LOCATION: Calgary

Janis tells us how she remembers seeing Janis Joplin at the Festival Express in Calgary. It was a huge gathering of music lovers, where police officer sat with pot smokers, enjoying the music. When Janis began to sing with that powerful voice, she had boxes and boxes of vodka stashed nearby. Our Janis is pretty sure Janis had "sampled" from them. Thanks for sharing, Janis.
