Maine Points: Ford Reiche & Andrew Govatsos

Posted on March 15, 2024 by dmartignetti

They were the biggest names in popular music: The Beach Boys, The Supremes, Jimmy Hendrix. And from the mid-1950s into the 1970s you could go see them play at venues such as the Portland Expo, at Lewiston City Hall, the Palace in Old Orchard Beach and at the University of Southern Maine in Gorham, where Aerosmith performed in Sept. 1973.

A new book by Ford Reiche of Freeport, “A Long, Long Time Ago: Major Rock and Roll Concerts in Southern Maine, 1955-1977,” chronicles the era as recalled by those who were close to the concert scene at the time. 100% of the proceed will go to The Historical Society Of Maine.

Joining me in studio to go over this was Ford Reiche and Record Executive Andrew Govatsos
