wowsers....
...i would love to actually hear what your son heard on the navajo reservation. i have a profound fascination with hopi / navajo culture. the music must have been mind blowing. prophetic, floating thru the milky way in an underworld canoe.
your story about your friend little brook at the show is quite funny.....i can just picture clearly...him leaving all the record hounds (jankes) curbed without the bone...
as for the latinn pysch bands, im just begining to learn about them. i particularly like the dug dugs...from mexico.. coolest band ever to use flute. ian anderson of jethro tull could never come close. they were quite heavy. tough lookin like thuggish too. another amazing band is traffic sound from peru. they did a song called meshkalina...which is the best song i have heard in a long time....amazing groove beat with very soulful horn solos. theres modulo 1000 from brazil....i havent scored this yet, but i heard it in nyc. kinda ominous sounding with hints of proto-new wave but still very pysch. of course we have os mutantes....there must be an ocean of that stuff to uncover...

My friend who has visited with Roky a lot said he walks now with the "thorazine shuffle"--very sad to see--but that Roky is always in good humor.
I would love to hear more re the Latin psych bands--the only ones I have heard were on comps.
My oldest son said the most psychedelic music he ever heard was on a Navajo reservation--the band was painted wild colors on their faces and bodies and played psych mixed wth a hard core frenzy--and sang in Navajo
A great many American Indians I have known--including my first wife, a Mohawk--(and I 'm part Ojibway)besides country music loved psych music. One of my best friends in Boston was Little Brook Reen, an Oglala Sioux. He had a huge collection of very rare psych lps. (A good deal I know of psych lps is from him and his collection--he recorded several for me also.) He kept them in special boxes in his van that he lived in. A total psych experience--a converted old milk delivery van--painted in Sacred patterns along with psych style images done in hallucinatory colors. We often did record show together, sharing a booth. He would toture collectors by walking through the crowds carrying some of his rarest lps--they would follow him in a batch, making loud demands and naming ever higher prices. Litlle Brook would just smile at them, never say a word, then return to our booth and put the lp behind the counter. He told me it was a form of revenge on white people. "No more selling islands for beads".
I would love to hear of the Latin bands you know of. One band I liked but is a punk garage sixties band--Los Diablos. (And there is always Questin Mark and the Mysterians!)
