Johnny Sunshine recorded at rehearsals and at KPFA Berkeley when we did
two live broadcasts and I still have some personal tapes, but we never
recorded professionally. Unfortunately the Berkeley masters are not in
that stash of KPFA tape that survived. The Universal Panacea never
recorded.

> One of the bands I was in played with the Dead on a number of gigs in the mid 60s. Since we were both Haight based acts we knew each other (actually it was a small, music based community then). I was more interested in listening to them as their recording chops got better and better as the years went on. In the 70s I lived on Brady Street where His Master's Wheels (their recording studio) was. Burt (?) Furman, of power supply & EQs fame, had his start-up 2-man shop in the same place.
> I never came to appreciate the Dead's live stuff that much. I knew Mr. Pen (Pig, that is) fairly well and he let me sit in on his electric piano with the rest of the group at the Human Be-In in Golden Gate Park. In those days I was more known for my banjo work than my piano picking. I think they were pleasantly surprised!
