1967

Jefferson Airplane was great, back in the day. I loved their quirky time signatures (3/10 of a mile in 10 seconds, or something like that), and it helped to be stoned to enjoy it, but not really necessary. I think this music holds up well today, and similar to some of the more offbeat stuff the kids do today. I got off on some of the later stuff, as well, particularly Long John Silver, and Baron Von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun - Grace Slick was the Chrome Nun, and Kantner was the Baron. Gracie could blast the paint off a 49 ford. These records featured Papa John Creach, an ancient, black fiddle rock and roll fiddle player (probably the only one). Playing with a bunch of white west coast hippys - now theres integration!
