Pearl almost had too much soul for one person... still miss her, listen to her music all the time. I was fortunate to have connections at the Monterey Pop Festival June '67 because of a couple of gigs my band had done with big name bands touring the country. So got to meet and hang backstage with Joplin, Hendrix, The Who, Mama's and Papa's, Jefferson Airplane, Jerry Garcia, Otis Redding and others performing or just there for it. Then saw/talked to most of them again and met other bands that summer in San Francisco. I hung out at The Dead House in the Haight a few times, went to a couple of their concerts with them. Still wear the peace and fire medallion a hippie chick made for me that summer... peace and fire: the badge of a Hawk that they accepted (I was a Hawk because i had already volunteered for Nam, was going in the military later that summer).
