...into the tiny hamlet hard by the Skykomish (Big Sky) River, 48 miles northeast of Seattle. As the incredulous Sultanites watched, onward trooped hundreds of hippies, pseudo hippies, camp followers, hangers-on, even some ordinary-looking folks. Then came the musicians with the weird-sounding names and getups - Country Joe and the Fish, the Cleanliness and Godliness Skiffle Band, Frumious Bandersnatch, Mother Tucker's Yellow Duck, Dr. Humbead's New Tranquility String Band.

When backing the other soloists (Joe Farrell, tenor; Woody Shaw Jr., trumpet), he spreads sprays of dazzling notes that support and enhance the horns' flights. In Tones for Joan's Bones, he displays a more reflective gleam by smoothly rolling the melody over Steve Swallow's loping bass and Joe Chambers' agile...
Between his white football shoes and natty street clothes, Joe Namath, 25, swinging quarterback of the New York Jets pro-football team, cuts a striking figure. Come fall, he will be positively dazzling. Seems a New York furrier and Jets fan has whipped up a $5,000 double-breasted mink coat for sale to the passer. His left knee hurts too much for play these days, but he managed to sweat out the final fitting in 85° temperature at the Jets training field...
