I met Owsley Stanley when I was just 9 years old. My mom took me to his laboratory in Oakland. He was making speed to finance his LSD manufacturing venture. It's kind of unbelievable but we did laughing gas that day at his place. I am not kidding
Wow. Very cool. But a little scary considering you were just 9. Thanks for sharing and watching
By the way there's some nitrous oxide stories in the book as well.
@@g_and_kikos_studio Yeah my childhood was unconventional! I don't think there were many 9 year old kids in '64 who were regular pot smokers like I was but I'm okay. We left San Francisco towards the end of 1964, moving to southern CA. In October, our house was raided and my mom lost custody of me and my younger sister. We ended up in foster care. My mothers friends were Lenny and Honey Bruce, Ella Fitzgerald, Ken Kesey, Scatman Caruthers and Nat King Cole. Up until we left, my mom was a regular customer, visiting Owsley often to get speed. She only took me there once. She let me try a little once and I stayed up all night, coloring my bedroom walls with crayons and chewing the inside of my cheek! I finally crashed and when I woke up she asked me what I thought about it. I said, " It's okay but you need to have a hobby". She told that story over and over to her friends thinking it was so hilarious.
Wow. Some people back then were open to letting their kids do drugs. I've heard that. Still you're probably lucky to be ok now. Im sure foster care was hard too. Cool group of people she hung with though, definitely
I have a Chinese copy of Tiger, and it's a really nice guitar that makes you feel like you are playing like Jerry Garcia, which I tend to do quite a bit anyway, having deeply absorbed his playing in a highly receptive state of mind at many Dead and Garcia Band performances. However, I don't play it often, since I tend to rest my picking hand on the center humbucker, making intermittent microphonic tapping noises which are distracting. That center pickup does allow an unparalleled tonal spectrum, though.
Very cool. How old is it? Was the pickup always microphonic? Maybe try some new pickups. Thanks for watching
Probably about 10 years old. It's actually a Liger by Phred Instruments, still in production, although they're up to version 3.0. shop.phredinstruments.com/liger-30
Very affordable take on Jerry's Tiger!
Oh wow. Looks really nice, and the price is right too. I haven't seen these before. Thanks for the link...
Do you remember "orange barrels"?
