One of my favorites. Saw them multiple times in the Seventies: Opening for the Dead with Garcia on steel, a couple of tour stops with Buddy Cage and a late decade show with Commander Cody's Bobby Black on board. Always good. Best damn band logo too. Still have the T shirt.

A re-formed edition of the band came through town about 10 years ago. Buddy Cage was back. Cage and Nelson came out to the bar, had a few drinks, and answered a few questions. (Where's John Dawson? Whereabouts unknown but tokin' wherever he be! LOL). Buddy (RIP) was stone deaf.

I bet.

I'm half deaf myself. LOL

I like this stuff. I had barely listened to them when I was younger.

Well sir...I had the benefit of growing up in a C&W household.

When schools were desegregated in 1969 I went straight from George and Tammy to Sly and the Family. Loved them both. A blessing.

That's awesome.

I grew up in up almost totally white Orange County California. However I always loved R&B and Jazz. I remember a friend of mine asking me, when I was 14 years old, "Why do you only listen to black people music?"

It wasn't really true. I loved Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, Elton John and David Bowie, but yeah, I mostly listened to "black people music."

LOL
