In the summer of 1967 the band
Poverty’s People was on the way up. We were all over the
Northwest
from Oregon to Idaho.
We open for the Doors and the
Grateful
Dead twice. Headlined at the Colosseum; Headlined the Lewiston Idaho
Trips
Festival; received accolades for our performance at the Portland
Trips Festival; played nightly for a month at the fabulous Pypo
Club
in Seaside (surf by day); played Colleges and High School Dances; went
to Frisco to the Haight and Golden Gate Park for the Summer of Love;
hitch-hiked
all the way back to Washington on three dollars and smoked a lot of
pot,
excellent hash, and dropped Acid in the mossy coastal forests.
