I met Mars back in the 1980s when he had joined the re-formed Seeds with the late Sky Saxon. Mars was just the sweetest guy, and a real cutie! He looks VERY young for his age, hard to believe he is well into his sixties now.
One of those songs that will keep butter on the composers bread forever.
Mars did´nt join Steppenwolf after Sparrow retired, however, he plays the very recognisable rythm guitar on "Magic Carpet Ride" penned by John Kay and Rushton Moreve.
if you climb up any prominent mountain in southern California, and look at the climber's register in the can at the top, you'll see that Mars' signature is written in all of them MANY times over! That guy lives to peak-bag these day
My friend Al had to do jury duty in Palmdale California during the early 2000's and Mars was in the jury pool. Neither of them was picked but Al thought hw was a pretty cool guy.

He remembers since his brother was the drummer for Sparrow and Steppenwolf.

Mars was in the Sparrow before Steppenwolf, I doubt he remembers that either. the sparrow featured most of steppenwolf I believe.
John Kay for sure.
