The Midnight Diamond Mine. Remember the night a guy explained the Book of Urantia? By the way, there’s some really good Grateful Dead performances floating around on YouTube.There’s one of them doing a rendition of an Italian operatic piece - not unlike Finiculi Finicula, but way more obscure. Found it once but can’t find it again.
The Bay Area was a really great place to be growing up in back then.
Robert N. Marley mon, roots music all the way…
Scoop Nisker from KSAN said it best with his trademark -“if you don’t like this reality, go out and make some of your own”.

Yes I do. Was sponsored by the H.O. shop in Bolinas back in 1966-1967. I had a yellow tint 10’-0" snub and I loved that board. Does anyone know more about the shop, boards and whatever happened to the H.O. guys?
KMPX??? Oh man geeze, I would skip my classes at CSM while sitting in my car listing to the radio.
Thanks
