byrds/HW

[reset]

Interesting post! Byrds have been variously credited as being the first
band to play "space rock" recording 8 Miles High in 1966 (and as early as
65?) which admittedly is a great tune and pretty spacy
psych,"proto-spacerock" if I hafta stretch it, but... I'd credit Pink
Floyd's 66-67 freakouts as the first fully fledged "Spacerock" on tape..

As for the bit about Danny Thompson/Dave Brock, I get it's the composite
Hawkwind folk-clone band again! It's a different DT whos played with tons
of folky bands like Fairport and Inc. String Band etc. Possible DB is the
US bluegrass guy someone dug up some dirt on this list ages ago?
