Well, welcome back to another segment of Beyond the Grassy and Oll, and we have with us today, Dave McGowan. He's been on before, but this theme to which he's going to speak is much different in the last he shared with us back probably over a year ago.

0:14.0

He has really gotten a lot of attention out of folks with this last series about which we will speak and it's

0:22.6

entitled by Dave inside the LC the strange but mostly true story of Laurel Canyon and the

0:28.6

birth of the hippie generation and I had I wouldn't tell you I had a ringside C for that I was on

0:33.6

I was on a field playing Dave so welcome to the grassy and all. Thanks for coming on.

0:39.3

Thank you for having me on. Good to be back. It's been a while.

And I mean, I just have tons and just pages and pages and pages of raw notes that I somehow

1:39.3

or other have to try to shape into the remainder of this story.

1:45.0

It's hard to say at this point, but I would guess that it'll probably run at least 12 installments.

1:52.0

Now, pardon the pun, but would you consider Laurel Canyon, the epicenter of something? Oh, absolutely, absolutely. It was definitely the epicenter of something? Oh, absolutely, absolutely.

2:03.6
