I remember the Limeliters at the University of British Columbia in the fall of '65, madras cotton shirts, chinos and banjos. Some of us still wore ties to school.

"Those Were The Days", "Mairie's Wedding", "the Ruckus at Blue Mountain Lake", "The Blue and The Gray", others.

They were followed in the same hall two days later by some new people: pulled up in a hearse, bailed out wearing long robes and colours of all sorts, came into the auditorium and set up all sorts of gear and began to play. Weird new music - within half an hour the place was packed - the Jefferson Airplane had come to town.

Transition time, them days.
