I remember back in 1969 when these guys first hit Berkeley from Ann Arbor. They had a great band back then and my pal, Kevin "Blackie" Farrell would occasionaly get up and sing "Six Days on the Road" with them down at Mandrake's. It was George Frayne (the Commander) on piano and vocals, Bill Kirchen on lead guitar and vocals, Billy C. Farlow on rockabilly rythm guitar (usually unplugged) and vocals, West Virginia Creeper on pedal steel, Lance Dickerson on drums, & "Buffalo" Bruce Barlow on bass.

Some of those pictures look like there from the show where they opened for the Grateful Dead at the Hollywood Bowl. That is the Dead's wall of sound in the background.

My dad used to sing this song. He would take a song and add a line or two to it making it his own. At the end of Semi-Truck he added this line "Took 3 pills, smoked 2 joints, drank a 12pk, shot sum smack, took a pee, dropped LSD, found sum roaches to burn, tuned to Howard Stern, scribbled in my log I love my job, thumped my tires & checked my mirrors.. big shiny truck w 15 gears!!! & my semi truck wont start! " I miss going and watching him play he was a great entertainer. R.I.P. Dad

Oh yeah and Andy Stein on both saxophone and fiddle and Bill Tischy on vocals and rythm guitar. I used to sit backstage at many of those early gigs because I knew Bruce pretty well and also because I always had plenty of great hashish. Those were great days. I especially recall one night out at Family Dog on the coast. It was at that gig where I first met Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel back in early 1970. What fun it was hanging with those great musicians. They could be counted on to rock out
