LIVE: Searching for Lemon
Volume 3 of 6 Albums
By mid-1972, the guys had enough original material (and jam sessions) for another half album. So collaborating band members, Rick and Ron, supplied the other half. Only 19 & 20 years old at the time, Herb Lemon was an on-going trip. (Filipino, but from Indonesia…his 1st language was Dutch.) Yes, he is actually hypnotized by the same “Doc” in Bemidji Run on Volume 2. (BTW, Joe Duberglass was from Haiti.) With Lemon leaving, Ron’s wife, Pam Sterlekar, replaces his high tenor on some of the songs.
