"The feeling
remains... 
Even after 
the glitter fades"

Stevie Nicks

 

 

 
ELECTRIC FLAG
       Michael Bloomfield, Buddy Miles...
     We loved that Chicago Blues sound.

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND HIS MAGIC BAND
Strangely entertaining.

  
BLIND FAITH
 Consisted of four brilliant musicians:
Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton, Ric Grech, and Stevie Winwood

   
THE BAND
Started out as Dylan's backing band and consisted of:
Robbie Robertson, Richard Manuel,
Garth Hudson, Rick Danko and Levon Helm

THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE
with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell, crossed over 
into new musical territory, as we all know, and left us 
with a mind-bending permanent streak in our gray matter.


JETHRO TULL
Initially, they were a strange kind of blues band.
The first musicians were: Mick Abrahams,
Glen Cornick, Clive Bunker and Ian Anderson

THE ZOMBIES
A successful English band consisting of Rod Argent,
Colin Blunstone, Paul Atkinson, Chris White and Hugh Grundy

THE DOORS
Jim Morrison certainly made a dent in my brain mass.

THE BYRDS
Formed in 1964 with Roger McGuinn,
Chris Hillman, Gene Clark, David Crosby 
and Michael Clark.
How musically historical can you get?

THE YARDBIRDS

BIG BROTHER AND THE HOLDING COMPANY
Formed in San Francisco by Peter Albin, Sam Andrew,
James Gurley and Chuck Jones. Then Janis was added.

JONI MITCHELL
Joni's folksy, comfortable, natural look
suited her and her music. She's an amazing songwriter.

CROSBY, STILLS, AND NASH
They had an immediate impact as well as a lasting one.

JOE COCKER AND MAD DOGS AND ENGLISHMEN
The musicians included Leon Russell, Chris Stainton,
Don Preston, Jim Gordon, Jim Keltner,

Jim Price and Bobby Keys.

TRACY NELSON AND MOTHER EARTH
At seventeen years old, Tracy was one of
the greatest white vocalists then, as she still is today.

      
'LOVE'
They were  probably Hollywood's signature
band. We claimed them as our own and
treated them like royalty.

ELTON JOHN
His first American album with Your Song,
No Shoestrings for Louise, Take Me to The Pilot--
I used to blast that album till the windows shook 
while I cleaned my house. Funny, how I still do that.
Musicians were: Diana Lewis, Paul Buckmaster, Elton,
Bernie Taupin, Gus Dudgeon, Caleb Quaye, Steve Brown

FRED NEIL
Relatively unknown to most people, but not
to my neighbors back in the sixties.

BONNIE AND DELANEY AND FRIENDS
"I've got a never ending love for them, too"
 Rita Coolidge, Bobby Keys, Jim Price,
Carl Radle, Jim Gordon, Bobby Whitlock,
Eric Clapton, George Harrison, and Dave Mason
were Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett's "friends"

THEM
Greatest verson of "It's All Over Now Baby Blue"

TRAFFIC

JOHN KAY AND STEPPENWOLF

THE BEE GEES
 Those first albums were creative masterpieces.

ARETHA

THE ANIMALS
Eric Burdon, John Steel, Hilton Valentine,

I bet I still have scorch marks deep in the center 
of my cerebrum, from The White Album.

Buffalo Springfield
Richie Furay, Stephen Stills, Neil Young,
Bruce Palmer, Dewey Martin, Jimmy Messina

THE GROUPIES
Way ahead of their time.
They could have been rock icons.

TERRY REID
I will never forget that guy's voice--
absolutely incredible. Why he's not a household 
word, I will never understand.
His voice could pierce right through you, boomerang
off the walls, and whiz back through again.  He had
the most powerful, unforgettable voice 
I've ever heard.

THE ROLLING STONES
Once the fathers, now the grandfathers of 
rock and roll. I'm sure you could hear harmonious 
zipper sounds all over Hollywood the day this 
album was released.

JANIS JOPLIN
She's worth a second mention.

BIG BROTHER AND THE HOLDING COMPANY
with guess who?--Janis again.

CANNED HEAT
Canned Heat cooked at the Whisky.

SPENCER DAVIS GROUP
I brought Spencer home with me one night
so I have privileged memories for "I'm a Man"

Robbie Robertson, and Bill Wyman.

SPIRIT
Formed in 1967 by Randy "California" Wolfe. 
Jay Ferguson, Mark Andes

SMOKESTACK LIGHTNING
The vocalist, Ron Darling, had a blues "growl" 
that was exceptional for a blonde white boy

VANILLA FUDGE

   
ELECTRIC PRUNES
The mighty Prunes were underrated by
everyone but us. The members were:
James Lowe, Mark Tulin, Ken Wiliams, 
"Weasel" Spagnola. Michael Weakley, drummer
pictured in the photo on left, was replaced by 
 Preston Ritter in the right photo. Kenny Loggins
was in the band briefly in 1968.

THE WHO
Proud to be a member of "My Generation"

MOBY GRAPE
Jerry Miller, Don Stevenson,
Peter Lewis, Skip Spence, Bob Mosley

of my generation--loud and brash.
