   They stayed at our house on Bennett's Road in Setauket and I was at that   
   concert too. They were friends of John Wiesenthal who was one of our   
   housemates. It was a house full of creativity, music, good vibes, not so good   
   vibes, LSD, weed, hash,  beer and    
   you name it. I lived there starting around January or February 1967. Even   
   though I was in high school, I still made the grade because I was a   
   finger-picker and knew plenty. Anyway, it was out of this mad scene that the   
   band that was first called the Soft    
   White Underbelly, emerged. I played bass and I invited my high school best   
   friend, Donald Roeser, to sit in at a night long jam session. We played songs   
   by David Roter and we indulged in a lot of free-form improvisational music.   
   The Underbelly moved to    
   St. James and then to Great Neck. The band's name became the Stalk Forrest   
   Group and, after the drummer hatched a plot to replace me with his brother,   
   they used another name and achieved a modicum of success.
