This is a link to a website of the era.
http://www.bandhistory.com has the history, music and photos of many of the period bands and their history leading up to the hippie era. I was in one of those bands and lived on the Georgia Tech campus from 1966-1970. We played some of the free concerts at Piedmont Park, as well as at “The Headrest” and “Funochio’s House of Rock.”
Good luck on your project.
