The Great Society

Aloha.

I am currently on the run, writing from the road. I will be in Los Angeles for a spell, plying my trade as a snake-oil salesman.

Send well wishes and positive vibes via fax, pneumatic tube or carrier pigeon, etc.


The Great Society featured a young Grace Slick, her (then) husband Jerry Slick, and his brother Darby. I prefer their version of "White Rabbit".

This is indeed one of my favorite artifacts from the San Francisco scene.

Ladies and gentlemen, for your listening pleasure, The Great Society.

Wow! I just requested this over at RedTelephone66, a great place for psych music. Thanks. On a side note- The other day my wife looked up from her book and in a mixture of surprise and disdain asked, "Are you listening to people having sex to Ravel?"

Wow, this is pretty great—thanks for the dl! I love how stripped down it is, you can hear the spaces between notes.

Father Bruce and White Rabbit are both like some bridge between 50's coffehouse folk and raga-delia. You can hear something changing in the live air of this album.
