The Beatles played at the 'Cow Palace' in San Francisco in '64' and I had a back stage pass. I was at the first show so I got to be right up in front to shoot. The crowd was screaming so loud during each song, I could barely hear the lyrics.

The Velvet Underground stayed at the Castle with us in '66 during their gig at 'The Trip' on Sunset Strip. On the first night we all went down to see the show and I took a series of photos of their wild performance.

Janis Joplin was the lead singer of Big Brother & The Holding Company and their group was just getting off the ground in '67 when I shot a series of photos of them in Woodacre, CA which they used for their publicity.

Bob Dylan rented a room from us at the Castle in '66 and spent nights banging out songs on his typewriter up in his suite overlooking the jade gardens. I cooked for him and some times massaged him to sleep and was able to capture some intimate moments during his stay.
