    Around 1964 I was sitting in a small drug store with some friends. In walks Bobby Goldsboro and another singer. They were performing in Raleigh that night. He was just a regular guy. I read he is an accomplished painter today.

    That's the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band who made it famous, but it's a cover of a Jerry Jeff Walker song. Not aware that Goldsboro covered it.

    That's unreal. And funny. I was just joking. But I remember the album cover! Bobby Goldsboro leaning on a Rolls Royce

    After they peaked, they had an album that's quite decent called "Bradley's Barn" (I think?).

    I looked up the singer, whose name is often mentioned in SF musical history. Seems he later was the frontman for Stoneground, a group perhaps most best-known to us for appearing in the album that celebrated the Filmore West's last album. This part I've known about Stoneground for years: their bassist would achieve Top 40 gold in a famous 1980s band – look it up for some interesting "family tree" stuff, but here's a hint: the bassist's brother was Quicksilver Messenger Service's guitarist, whom around 1973 was in a band called Copperhead:

    I know of the Godz but haven't heard them in maybe 25 years. I think they were on the ESP label, which had a lot of weird avant garde LPs.

    EDIT: This may be a different Godz.
