Love her.
Could never get into her and Balin's voices combined.

Gotten to know Darby Slick as a friend over the years and it's been amazing to learn so much about the band, the era, the vibe, the politics - it's a re-living trip to hang with him and discuss the "scene"
And ya, Grace in her day? Smashed it.

Like so many bands of that era, they were unique. I was a music hound as a kid, mostly into Motown and acid rock. Quicksilver Messenger Service was a childhood favorite. A nun (Sister Anna) who was also teacher, use to bring albums to school for us to listen to. A lot of underground music that you didn't hear on CKLW out of Windsor. It wasn't just her though, as there seemed to be a concerted effort to normalize counter-culture songs and imagery. It wasn't uncommon to see "peace" sign decorations on doors and windows. The entire school would gather in the gymnasium to sing songs like Age Of Aquarius, One Tin Soldier and Get Together. Good times!

See, progressive teaching and learning!
I grew up in Boston and didn't get exposed to any West Coast bands until probably
early 70s when Zeppelin had already got their hooks in.
To be honest I HATED 60s and early 70s Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead.
Found it just plain boring compared to Zep, Sabbath, Purple, etc.
Gave each many tries through the years (hung with a DeadHead in the 80s who must have
played me a couple dozen live versions of Dark Star) but just never got into either band.

I was never a fan of Grateful Dead music. Thanks to my age, I took little interest in the associative sub-culture of that era.
