Many of the performers profiled in Echoes Of The Sixties have Web sites. Here are links to those sites.
The Angels®: Although the members of this pioneering female trio have established individual careers outside of music, they still perform a limited number of engagements each year out of their love of music.
Beau Brummels: Architects of the "San Francisco sound," the Brummels were among the first serious challengers to the "British invasion" acts of the mid-'60s.
Ron Elliott's R.E. Art: A gallery of artwork by the former Beau Brummels composer and guitarist, now a fine visual multimedia artist.
Gary "U.S" Bonds: The "Quarter To Three" man, whose professional colleagues have included Bruce Springsteen and Muhammad Ali, still puts on a driving performance on stage.
Country Joe and the Fish: Dedicated to mobilizing protest against the war in Vietnam, this band made rock music a forum for political commentary and an instrument of social change.
Barry "the Fish" Melton: He's a lawyer who still can rock and he's as committed as ever to social causes, which serves him well as the Public Defender of Yolo County, Calif.
Bruce Barthol: Since 1976 he's been a key member of the San Francisco Mime Troupe, a Tony Award-winning musical theater collective specializing in political satire, for which he composes and performs music.
David Bennett Cohen: The organist for Country Joe and the Fish, developer of a series of instructional music tapes, is now the pianist with a New York blues band.
The Fireballs: This site celebrating the pride of New Mexico, the original Fireballs, is maintained by the band's co-founder, George Tomsco.
Iron Butterfly: Fusing delicacy and power, the Butterfly periodically re-emerges from its cocoon to thrill old and new fans alike on stage.
Captain Beyond: This band, which Iron Butterfly bassist Lee Dorman helped form in 1971, has weathered two breakups and was reactived in 1999. More information on Captain Beyond can be found at http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/captbeyond16/myhomepage/.
Lovin' Spoonful: Since they resurrected this good-time group in the early 1990s, Steve Boone, Joe Butler and Jerry Yester, along with new band members, have been entertaining enthusiastic audiences across the nation. Be sure to check out their new "unplugged" CD, featuring acoustic interpretations of their classic hits performed before an appreciative audience.
Moody Blues: Originally a blues combo, this innovative band fused classical and rock music in a series of landmark recordings that defined the genre of "art rock."
Michael Pinder: The onetime poetic "voice" of the Moody Blues has found a new calling, producing wonderful musical stories for children young in age and young in spirit.
Also see the One Step Records site.
Peter and Gordon: The first "British invasion" performers after the Beatles to score a number one record on the American pop charts, this duo still enjoys an immensely loyal following. Visit their official web site, where you can purchase their greatest hits as well as Gordon Waller's exciting soundtrack CD for the motion picture James Dean: Race With Destiny.

Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs: Formed in Memphis, the "Wooly Bully" band known for a string of novelty hits was in reality a hard-driving blues combo.
Ray Stinnett: The band's inventive guitarist with musical roots in Memphis rhythm and blues is finding new outlets for musical expression through his Web site.
The Tokens: Beloved around the world for "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," this entertaining vocal group is lending its finely blended harmonies to newly composed material.
