Comments:
The Grow Fins and The Early Years 1959 - 1969 booklets listed the personnel with P.G. Blakely on drums.

How did the chicks like him?

Gary Lucas: He would say to people, "My music is for women because they *know*." Frankly, it was for weirdos and
intellectuals, mainly nerdy boys. Not your surfer types -- it was more Beatniks.

Seconds: Did he have groupies?

Gary Lucas: He had some ... he would occasionally ... he was married, so his wife would be on tour with us. But he had
stories -- "I fucked Janis Joplin on the roof of the Avalon Ballroom!" ... "I had twenty-three women after I played The
Whiskey in 1966."
