David LaFlamme once played violin with the Utah Symphony. In the late 60’s he formed the band, “It’s A Beautiful Day,” an early example of what became known as New Age music. Eventually, LaFlamme would be tossed out of the group, accused of taking too much of the royalties. The 1969 issue of the album, “It’s A Beautiful Day” on Columbia Records is worth up to $100.00. However, the 1968 release on the San Francisco Sounds label jumps the value up to $250.00.
