Born Crystal North Dakota, Uff Da! Recall parents digging thru show bank to EXIT front door of farm house. Great place to be from.
Raised Santa Clara California when still prune orchards, age 13 first trip to Taco Truck, exchanged my Wonder Bread, balogna sandwich for Chili Verde,
never looked back. Bracero I worked with thought it a fair trade.
Prep School Oakland, snuck out of dorm on Sunday nights to play sax in holy roller band, those folks knew how to rock! the Lutes, not so much.
Blue Fox for New Years Eve at age 17, won a six pack of Tecate in a dance contest, we rode the 250cc Ducati Diana Road Racer to Estero Beach the night
after that. Discovered Tequila. Learned there are many ways to live.
SF Bay area in the 60's, do recall some of it, Electric Koolaide Acid Test, Jerry Garcia, Janice etc.
