And Buffalo Springfield; I had the biggest crush on Stephen Stills for years. And Country Joe McDonald. And Jesse Colin Young. He used to play at this little hippie coffeehouse in Bucks County, PA that I used to go to all the time, but he was before my time there.
Hey, I remember Jesse Colin Young. He used to play a place outside Philly--the Main Point, a very slick coffee house in Bryn Mawr, near Bryn Mawr College and Villanova University. I saw him there. Also John Denver BEFORE he became uncool. He played with a backup band called Fat City, who became the Starland Vocal Band (sorry, folks, didn't mean to pollute the airwaves--knew 30 seconds was all anyone could stand), and a young pair of New Yorkers named Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel BEFORE Sounds of Silence--maybe 1966?
In order: Yes. Probably. Yes. Unfortunately, yes.
That song was a staple of the garage band I was in, particularly because our drummer was easily the best musician in the band and would play that interminable drum solo for what seemed like forty minutes.
Although that last "yes" needs an asterisk by it, as repeated run-throughs of that song certainly left me in an altered state of consciousness.
I vote for Gracie too.
My worst confession ever: the first band I ever played in was a cover band of the California band The Association.
Do I have to turn in my Grateful Dead membership card now?
