Aragon High School, San Mateo, CA.

1970, he was 16-17 and a sophomore.

Left high school to tour with Santana in the middle of the school year, and ended up in Woodstock.

We used to party with him in The Highlands . . . even us OLDER guys, cuz he’d always break out a git and pick loud, and others would jam. And his folks let us smoke pot and drink beer!!! ;-)

And Greg Rolie is STILL one of my fav keyboard players of all time, along with Mark Naftlin . . .

Sigh . . . great hair, too, all of them . . . . *G*
