John,

I used to listen to and record KMPX quite frequently during this time
period myself. I recall the surf/synth stuff, but have no idea of its
source. Sounds like Moog to me.

One thing I remember distinctly from my taping sessions was the evening
of August 6th, 1970. There was a three piece set. The first piece was a
Rolling Stones piece (title forgotten), "Psychosomosis" by a jazz group
and finishing with "I've got murder in my heart for the judge" by Moby
Grape. The DJ then commented "Today is the end of silence. It's time to
sit back and start shouting."

The next day, was the Marin County court shootout with the Black
Panthers where the judge was killed, along with two B.P. Party members.
I remember reading the headlines the next day and shivering. I still
have the tape somewhere.
