When I was a teenager, I saw ALL the bands play at London venues like Middle Earth in Covent Garden and at Implosion events at the Roundhouse, which was originally a steam engineer repair shed. I used to think nothing of seeing first rate acts like the late Tim Buckley, the Pink Floyd and Soft Machine play in such intimate settings. Jeff Dexter used to be the clubs' enigmatic disc jockey, and was the gregarious host at all times.
I used to be crazy about West Coast rock at the time, but although the Grateful Dead ensemble was one of my favourites, they were one act I never got to see in the flesh. I was fortunate to see Jefferson Airplane and the Doors play at the Roundhouse though (when I was a toddler, of course!). If I remember correctly (!), Jefferson Airplane had top billing but of course Jim Morrison stole the show.
Back then, I used to (wear a new Biba outfit a week) and hung out with a lot of musicians. Everyone on the London 'scene' seemed to be heavily involved with the Music Industry. It must have been a long time ago, because "Lemmy", who is best known as the founding member of the heavy metal band Motörhead used to be good looking in those days. I used to hang out backstage at rock concerts (like "Blind Faith") in Hyde Park, and saw American artistes like Janis Joplin perform at the Royal Albert hall. Jimi Hendrix, whom I witnessed devour his guitar several times, once tried to run me over in his car on the Zebra Crossing at Marble Arch!
I used to be so crazy about West Coast rock, one of my biggest fantasies was to marry an American rock star and live in San Francisco. It didn't happen, but my sister Lesley did marry the legendary and versatile musician called Austin de Lone, who currently lives in Mill Valley. He was 'gonged' with a "Milley" award in 2007 for bringing national and international honour to Mill Valley. He's a killer keyboard player, and also reworks bands as well as being a composer, songwriter, and producer. (He also helps organise benefit concerts in the name of Richard de Lone, his Prader-Willi Syndrome son).
Austin ("Audie" is his nickname) started the pub rock movement in England during the early Seventies with his legendary band, "Eggs Over Easy", and has worked and played with everyone in the Music Industry, including rocksters like Huey Lewis, Bruce Springsteen, David Crosby, Lightening Hopkins, Nick Lowe, Commander Cody, Loudoun Wainwright, Boz Scaggs, Howard Tate and Elvis Costello to name just a few. He is the only musician I know now, so it was a huge treat to hang out in Mill Valley during Christmas and the New Year and listen to his pulsating sounds.
I now very rarely see live music in London (there aren't that many cosy rock venues left now), so it was a delight to see Austin and his talented daughter Caroline de Lone perform while I was there. On New Year's Eve, we saw one of Austin's groups, the tight "Austin de Lone's Soul Blues Extravaganza" play at the beautiful non-profit Throckmorton Theatre. Guest artistes included the brilliant Dan Hicks (of Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks), a raunchy blues singer called Lisa Kindred, the youthful Lorin Rowan (of the Rowan brothers), and the charismatic Caroline de Lone. Will Durst's Big Fat Year End Kiss Off Comedy Show who opened the act were hilarious.
'Los Angeles is hell frozen over,' was one of their many laugh out loud wisecracks.
I also, caught Bonnie Raitt and Caroline (again) guest at the Mabel John show (after she left Motown, she was the director of the Raelettes, who backed Ray Charles), plus her magical musician son, Paul Collins also at the Throckmorton Theatre. Caroline is only sixteen (going on seventeen), but she is a natural performer with a belting big voice. Bonnie Raitt predicts she will do very well with her singing career. Praise indeed!
Other highlights of my action-packed holiday included a visit to George Lucas's lot in San Francisco (he lives in Mill Valley alongside all the old West Coast rock stars), and an intoxicating visit to Francis Coppola's Rubicon Winery in Napa Valley. I loved the film memorabilia upstairs which included antiquated magic lanterns. I had an exciting time, but the most positive thing about my trip was getting a sizzling idea for a rock 'n' roll screenplay. If it ever gets the green light, there are enough musicians in Mill Valley to provide the score!

Jefferson Airplane $90.81 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Jefferson Airplane was an American rock band formed in San Francisco, California in 1965. A pioneer of the psychedelic rock movement, Jefferson Airplane was the first band from the San Francisco scene to achieve mainstream commercial and critical success. The band performed at all three of the most famous American rock festivals of the 1960s Monterey (1967), Woodstock (1969) and Altamont (1969) as well as headlining the first Isle of Wight festival. Their recordings were internationally successful, and they scored two US Top 10 hit singles and a string of Top 20 albums. Their 1967 record Surrealistic Pillow is regarded as one of the key recordings of the socalled Summer of Love and brought the group international recognition. Two chart hits from the album, Somebody to Love and White Rabbit, are listed in Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Successor bands to Jefferson Airplane include Jefferson Starship and Starship; spinoffs include Hot Tuna and KBC Band. Jefferson Airplane was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
