Dang' the white rabbit has passed on. Marty Balin, cofounder of Jefferson Airplane died at 76. Of course, Grace Slick's voice was the voice that made White Rabbit a hit one could argue but dang it', another great one has passed. That of course IMHO.

The inspiration for "Peggy Sue" has passed away. She was actually married to one of the members of Buddy Holly's band for a time.

Peter Tork of the Monkees dead at 77.

About 30 years ago I drove from Seattle to Anchorage in a van with three friends. We had a handful of cassettes. The only one we weren't all sick of by the end was the Monkees' greatest hits. Cheer up, sleepy Jean.

I probably filled your tank if you gassed up at The Hub of Alaska in Glennallen. In '69 a few dudes pulled in to get gas and gave me an 8-Track of their band "Canned Heat". "Goin up the Country" was their anthem later at Woodstock.

Another funny thing... if you watch Canned Heat at Woodstock playing "Woodstock Boogie" the guitarist has a STP sticker on his guitar that I gave them while passing thru here.

It appears Peter took the " Last train to Clarksville "
Hope someone met him at the station...

Cheer Up sleepy Jean was a line from the song Day Dream Believer written by John Stewart. Stewart was a classic....member of the Kingston Trio....saw him at various clubs more than a hundred times over the years...one of my favorites. He tells a funny story about that song....check this out. Stewart died a few years back.
