Thanks...I'm 58 now, long white beard, saw them in New Orleans early 70s.Whatever happened to Bill Gregory on guitar?BTW, I still love the same girl I did when this song came out.This does my heart good.What the heart has it never loses.(To paraphrase a lovely girl's tombstone.)

i was so much older then..im younger than that now.......what happened to the hippies...my guess is that there dug into to the corporate america they sought to change so many tears (years)ago..i dunno....all the young pseudo hippies i meet now..have no heart,,,they just seem to be into the language and clothing and smoking pot....all the fun stuff we did then...but i dont see the conviction to make changes... its your future....do something...?

classic.............

I can remember getting chills from this song when my mom played it on her 8-track! Still get chills.

Was it happening at Filmore West back then or what! And if you could time travel back to that magical place and someone holds out a hand of purple berries and says "Turn On"! You got the ticked to ride on the magic bus on the hwy west.

Thank you, thank you, thank you....for posting this great link to the past! One of the comments mentions having this on 8-track at one time: I STILL have my 8-track, but am afraid to play it for fear of it "locking up". I also have this on a reel type tape (reel-to-reel, remember?). Anyway, even without the great Patti Santos singing, the group, I'm told, still appears, mostly in the South, and still sounds great. Does remind me of a war I'd just as soon forget, though!
