“The Grateful Dead were very kind. It was Santa Claus. It did good things. It allowed other people to benefit. The benefits that we played were enormous, and we played free.

“When I was a kid growing up in Kentucky, on lucky summer nights, my cousin would pick me up in his Chevy Super Sport and drive me down along the Ohio River to Cincinnati to hear some rock 'n' roll. Those were exciting times, and the bands would play late into the night, rocking soaked in sweat. When I hear the Ready Stance, these memories come back to me and I remember that Cincinnati has produced so many wonderful musicians. The Ready Stance is among that number. You will be hearing a lot about them in the future.” PlayKidsRememberNightSportsMemoriesNumbersGrowing UpGrowingWonderfulRocksReadyLuckyBandLateSummerMusicianPicksRiversExcitingHearingSweatRock N RollCousinOhioStanceKentuckyMy CousinKids Growing UpSummer NightsPick MePick Me UpCome Back To MeChevy Author:Chris Frantz

“When my band MU landed on Maui in 1973 we were greeted by a wonderful group of peace loving brothers & sisters who we immediately formed a bond with. We had two instant roadies, Spider & Richard, who helped with every move of our musical equipment. We settled into our house on the edge of the rainforest that eventually became a portable studio. We started rehearsing and booked the Lahaina Civic Auditorium for a full moon concert starring MU and a local band The Space Patrol.” TwoMovingHouseSpaceWonderfulGroupsBrotherMoonBandMusicalEdgesStudiosLocalsInstantConcertsEquipmentSpidersCivicsFull MoonMauiRehearsingRainforestBrother SisterAuditoriums Author:Merrell Fankhauser

“The only way the band could make any money was by going on tour. But going on tour meant we had to get time off from our jobs, and we couldn't get enough time off to make enough money from touring to survive, so the only way to try was to quit our jobs. None of us had a job that was so wonderful that we were just dying to keep it.” WayTryingEnoughJobsWonderfulDyingBandQuittingTouringEnough TimeTime Off Author:Greg Saunier
