MARTY BALIN - JEFFERSON AIRPLANE TAKES OFF

1966...what an amazing debut!
Jefferson Airplane founder & solo artist Marty Balin talks about the forming of Jefferson Airplane, meeting Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen, and Jack Casady. The opening of The Matrix and meeting with Phil Spector.
It's amazing to me how well Skip Spence did on drums, chosen by Marty on first sighting from a club crowd just because Skip "looked" like a drummer. God knows I love Dryden's drumming but Skip did a really fine job! But of course he was a bit wasted there and did what he should with the Grape.
