Janis and the Beatles are the ones that I wish I could have seen during the music heyday of that time. I was one of the fortunate in that my mother liked both so I was able to play their music at home. During that time I read "Sixteen" magazine and cut out every article about the Beatles. I still have quite a few of them!! Thank you for a wonderful look back at a very heady and marvelous time!

Cheap Thrills was the first album I bought. Based on R. Crumb’s Cover Art, as much as the single on the radio —“Piece of my Heart” ?

My friends already had the usual Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Doors, Airplane etc.

I look forward to reading the whole of Carola Dibbell’s memoir.

Ah, the queen of blues rock. Thanks for this -- I'm always on the hunt for intimate, 1st-hand accounts of the greats: jimi hendrix, james brown, big brother, etc
