Around us were families, couples, people shouting, babies crying, yodelling, banjos, bongos. The air was damp and smelled of campfires and pot. I’d not seen anything like it before.”, came out several years later, they recognized the yellow butterfly staff on the cover.
“The five of us gathered in Corky’s apartment to listen to it. Suddenly he recognised the yellow butterfly staff on the left, which belonged to this guy Herbie we’d been looking after, as he was tripping pretty heavily and had lost his friends,” recalled Bobbi. “But then he said: ‘Whoa! That’s you and Nick.'”

Who else is tired of all this retreaded hippy nonsense?
Condolences to Nick Ercoline. To lose a partner of 54 years must traumatic.
Every article says they married in 1971 and they celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary in August of last year. I make that 51 years, right?
