He was a forerunner of the 60's San Francisco psychedelic sound, leading the way for Jerry, Jorma, John Cipolina, Barry "The Fish" Melton, and others of the era. May the four winds blow you safely home.

His solos on "CHEAP THRILLS" still thrill me ! I grew up with that local" San Francisco Psychedelic Sound" . I send my love and respect. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 9085 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 02, 2010 - 3:18 pm:    Thanks Bill. nikkij New Username: nikkij Post Number: 8 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 09, 2010 - 12:40 am:    Wow, how sad!
