The fire was at a big log house in Piolet Hill(Sierra Foothills),between Auburn & Placerville. After "The Manson Family" did the deed on Saron Tate et.al. Every long-hair became a drug crazed murdurer. Fire seemed to follow Mark around. The Neilon Peirson Band was playing a the original Shier Road Pub in Old Town Fair Oaks when it burned to the ground in '77.

I am a member of Crystal Syphon who shared the bill with them on Tuesday, January 21st 1969, and later in 1969 in Merced at the Fairgrounds in May. Being from Merced, the Poster Art for the Tuesday January 21st audition night included a Merced band, Crazy Horse, which was NOT the Neil Young band that arrived on the scene in 1968. Crystal Syphon played again at the Fillmore West audition nights in October of 1969 and in December 1969. As a tidbit, Crystal Syphon, minus its drummer, Marvin Greenlee, who passed away in 1999, has reunited, released a vinyl album on roaratorio records of Minneapolis, and will be hitting the road soon for some live performing. Thanks for the great blog of one of the groups that helped weave the musical tapestry that we know as the Bay Area music scene of the 1960's. San Paku was a credible band that I enjoyed.SandersROCKS!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07485804506696672279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667800298422570910.post-63888456174875273152011-08-16T13:14:22.103-07:002011-08-16T13:14:22.103-07:00Hi SacTownGal,

We did play an infamous gig at Native Son's Hall (since demolished)in the Fall of 1968 on 11th Street near J. It was directly across from the Elks Tower (home of KZAP). I know The Working Class (precursor to Paku) played the Trip Room as did almost every Sacto band in those days.

We now recall (mostly) a gig at Native Son's Hall which was on 11th, near J right across the KZAP/Elk's Tower Building. The second floor ballroom had a spring-loaded floor. Sadly since replaced by an ugly cement block eyesore.
