"Wildman" Dave Diamond has a Country Joe and the
Fish website http://www.cjfishlegacy.com
that I checked out. You will find many great photos with
lots of familiar faces. Also check out www.countryjoe.com

Good ole David Malachowski comes through again with a
couple of killer shots. Thank you, David! I bet it's lonely
out there on the road:)

I knew the Palace Guard and spent a lot of time at the Hullabaloo, although I was only 14 at the time. After finding your site, I contacted Don Beaudoin. Sad to report that three members of the band have passed away, John Beaudoin, David Beaudoin, and Mike Conley. Mike was my first love, so talking to Don was a bittersweet experience.

I am the sort of tedious train spotter who has a list for everything, and one of my many lists is my effort to compile a list of every performer at the Whiskey A-Go-Go from 1966 to 1969. It is incomplete, of course, but it is surprising how much information is out there if you are methodical about it. Anyway, I have attached my list for your enjoyment. Feel free to correct any errors or fill in the blanks—this is a work in progress. If it suits you, feel free to post the list on your site, as I’d be interested in any input from your readership, many of whom were actually there.

Here's Corry's list

" Just wondering if anyone ever hung out at The Righteous
Source, a head shop on Fairfax, owned by Marsha, and Charlotte.
We are both alive, Marsha went on to open a large size boutique
in Tarzana She currently lives with her husband in Kingman,
Arizona. I live in the Mount Washington area of Highland Park
with my husband.
Many interesting people bought our paraphernalia, brought us fun
gifts of pot infused brownies, cake, etc.....or just hung out with us.
We were next to Foster's coffee house, The Blue Grotto, so it was
a fun spot for many Hollywood hippies. We were forced to close
when they widened Fairfax. If anyone one remembers our head
shop, it would be fantastic to hear from you."
Linda Conner - then Linda Hedrick   LINDA.CONNER@slma.com

Carol (Morgan) Rowan has found the site. She knew so many
of us. Her description of all the people that she knew and
some of her fondest memories are here in her email to me.
She has written a book which is in the early stages of a movie.
Below is a photo of Morgan and a picture of her book cover.

Laurie writes to say "those were the best years of my life."
She remembers BeBe Shaw, Neanderthal, Teda Bracci, Mick
Jason (Mick Jagger look-a-like) Jingles, Dan Hortter from
the Yellow Payges. LP See Ya@aol.com

I received an additional windfall of photos from Dee Lux.
She writes: "I am still in touch with Keith Robertson (who
roadied for everyone) and Rick Downey who roadied and
later played drums for Blue Oyster Cult. I'm also able to
contact Rocky Morley, Noj Davies, Bubs Sterling, and a few
others. Whatever happened to Sable Starr and Lori Lighting?
Graham 'Cracky' Jones, roadie for Led Zep and Pink Floyd,
died in December 2003 near his home in West Byfleet,
Surrey;, England. Mo Slotin, roadie for several bands, died
but unsure when...cancer, I believe."

had a sister named Shane. legin@3web.net

Bob Feigel started the Back to Eden commune on Sunset
and Fairfax, then stores and warehouses in Hollywood,
Westwood and Venice. He says the Trip, Ben Franks and

Annie Aronburg misskaka@hotmail.com is a close
friend of Carl Zappa (brother of Frank). Carl would
like to get in contact with Linda Sue "Sparky" Parker
of the GTO's.

I heard from one of Jack Lancaster's (Blodwyn Pig)
students. Jack is living in Hollywood behind Raleigh
Studios with his wife and daughter. He teaches Sax
and other instruments.

A fantastic discovery has been made. Six songs by
the Groupies from 1968 have been "discovered" on
the net. You can download them at: http://www.dslextreme.com/~nhopper/Groupies.html
Those songs gave me goose bumps all over the place.
I could not believe how great those guys were and what
a killer voice Cooker had in those days. Kim Fowley
introduces them.

Christine O'Brien, from the Doors.com did an interview
with me recently. It's at the Doors' site right here.

Little Steven Van Zandt put together a garage band fest.
The classic rock TV shows Hullabaloo, Upbeat and Shindig
have inspired Van Zandt's latest project--a garage band
festival featuring the godfathers of garage rock and their
offspring. The International Underground Garage Festival
was held August 14 on Randall's Island in New York City.
The show included the New York Dolls, Iggy Pop and
the Stooges, and Bo Diddley.

"Where is Miss Mercy??? Do you have any idea how to
get in touch with her? Is she still alive? I was a friend of
her's and would love to find her if I could. Any ideas?
Please let me know." Jill jill.lewis@adelphia.net

Cynthia Weils is looking for Tommy Lane who lived two or
three doors down from Jim Morrison and Pamela Courson
on Rothdell Trail. In 1981, he was living on "Love Street."
Cynthia has done several paintings, by the way, of Morrison.
Some of her paintings can be seen HERE.
Her email: cinray@webtv.net

"I wonder if anybody has any info on any of the street"
people who used to hang out at the Fifth Estate and the
Blue Grotto. The names I remember are Teeny Bopper,
Jingles, Button Danny, Surfer the Guy, Surfer the Girl,
Ronny and Donny the twins, Zorro, Redhead, Betty, Brother
Beard, Lynne Atwater. I went by the name of Cherokee.

Judy Katrein Bajorek (Judy Slattery) spent time at the
Doud's house. She knew David and Michael Doud, David
Potter of the East Side Kids, and sent memorabilia of them.

Djinn Ruffner says she remembers 99% of the people who
are on the website. Here's her wonderful email.

Jonnie King, a radio personality in St. Louis, remembers
his days on the Strip...

I was in California from 1962 to 1964. I studied at the Pasadena Playhouse and also lived in Hollywood. I lived on Highland Ave at the corner of Highland and Franklin...just down the street from the Hollywood Bowl.

When I was there so many great clubs were in operation ! PJ's, Rigazzi's, The AM/PM Club, Shelly Manne's "Manne Hole", Whiskey A-Go-Go, Ciro's , Dino's, The Pink Pussycat, The Body Shop, etc, etc. Plus Barney's Beanery and The Hollywood Ranch Market. ..
I remember seeing Preston Epps (who had a a big hit with Bongo Rock) at Pandora's Box.

Alan Brackett from the Peanut Butter Conspiracy
www.peanutbutterconspiracy.com sent along a photo of
The Crossing Guards outside the Sea Witch on Sunset and
a photo of his band.

Walter Egan, who had a hit in 1978, "Magnet and Steel"
has been perusing the site. eganwalter@hotmail.com He
lives in Nashville.

John Titter was in high school in the late sixties, but he
used to cut school and drive to the Strip from the Antelope
Valley..."just tried to hang out and be groovy."

One morning we were walking down to the Whiskey and a man was yelling to us from an apartment window, so we crossed the street to see what he wanted. I'm sure we were just hoping some on would offer us some pot or something!!!!! He asked us if we were going down by some club on the strip. We of course gave him way too much information, and told him what we were up to. He invited us up so we went. It turned out this was a man they called "The Magnificent Mallouchi" He had pictures of himself and Little Richard all over the place arm and arm or out to breakfast. It turned out he had been Little Richard's lover for year, and years. He was WAY GAY just like Richard, but was very cool to us, and posed any problems to us. He brought out his pot and we started smoking. Dick Gregory, and The Lemon Pipers were staying in the same complex, so he introduced them to us. For a couple of teenage wanna-be hippies from the desert that was pretty cool. We had so much much fun just hanging out back then. John's email: Thetaximan1@cs.com

I ran into Deborah Perkins where I work in the Bellevue area of Nashville. She was Al Perkins' wife. He was associated with the Crosby and Stills gang. Al, was one of the members of the band, Manassas, that Steven Stills put together.
That group consisted of Dallas Taylor on drums, Paul Harris on
keyboards, Fuzzy Samuels on bass, Al Perkins on electric slide
guitar, Joe Lala on congos, and Chris Hillman.

Seatrain, and Heads Hands & Feet! I remember those bands.
Steve VanMeter wrote to say that Head, Hands and Feet
were a studio band with Albert Lee. he also remembers Shawn
Phillips as an amazing vocalist.
