<P>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.</P>
<P>I would love to hear more re the Latin psych bands--the only ones I have
heard were on comps.</P>
<P>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</P>
<P>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".<BR></P>
<P>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!)<BR></P></DIV>
