Nice find. Weir seems well suited for this type of music.
Looking forward to hearing the rest of it
"The first studio release by the only all-female rock band of the late ‘60s San Francisco scene: Features contributions from Bob Weir (Grateful Dead, Dead & Company), Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna), Taj Mahal, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Peter Coyote, and many more. "
I went to the show at Winterland in 1969 where Ace of Cups opened for The Band's first concert as The Band, along with The Sons of Champlin. The whole show was great!
— I was playing clubs and I met the guys from the band The Answer. They were still at Berkeley High School. I was 18 and they were 17 and 16. They were really great musicians and cool guys. I didn’t join that band, but I played with them and did things with them.
It was late that spring or early that summer when the band and I went down to a conference in Asilomar near Monterey. The lead guitarist in The Answer was the son of Dr. Samuel Wright, the head of a theological school in Berkeley. There was a big Unitarian conference involving the ministries across the country and the keynote speaker was Ken Kesey. I didn’t know who he was at the time but the band did.
As it turned out, I spent the night on the beach talking with Kesey. A week later he came up to my apartment and said, “You are coming with me, I’ve come to get you. You are on the bus!”
AN: How long were you on the bus for?
Denise Kaufman: I was on the bus from that time until Kesey went to Mexico... when he staged his suicide and went to Mexico. We, the bus, stayed in LA and did some more Acid Tests there.
DK: I was born in San Francisco! I went to an all-girl boarding school in Palo Alto. It was a really amazing thing to be down in Palo Alto at this time.
There was a lot of great music then. Jerry Garcia was playing in his jug and bluegrass bands.
There were a couple cool venues in Palo Alto as well. It was a nurturing time for me. I was in the Stanford Music Club at the university. They let me be the mascot because I was still in high school. I used to go play with that group of folks.
Pigpen [McKernan-ed] and Jerry had a band called the Zodiacs. I hired them for my high school graduation party. They were great.
