But it was Cippolina, an incredible guitar player, who put his signature on the music. His sound system with the metal horns thru his amp best caught the S.F. sound. Along with Garcia and Jorma he developed the psychedelic Haight Ashbury sound that changed music forever.<br />Duncan and Quicksilver did their best work when lead singer and the bands founder Dino Valente was doing jail time. When Valente returned he replaced Duncan's duty as the lead singer. Valente's screechy voice and obnoxious personality ruined that band.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
