Notes

The origins of this album and the title derive from the loose aggregation of San Francisco musicians, including Garcia, who rehearsed together and who contributed to each others recordings in 1970 / 1971. Kantner's dedication for Mountain Song on this album reflects this origin;

David C, Jerry G, Graham N, Grace S, David F, Billy K and Mickey H, and to one summer when all our schedules almost didn't conflict.
The musicians involved on this album though, with the exception of Kantner and Grace Slick, were not involved with the original PERRo group. Those involved here are Kantner's family and the then current line up of Jefferson Starship.
