Psychedelic Days: 1960-1969

In early July 2008 as I started to write some songs about my life and times in 1960's London and beyond, something happened which I would describe as "crystal karma vision." I was remembering in great detail those "psychedelic days" of forty years before when I navigated my way on a voyage of music, freedom, adventure and self discovery. The past had no distance and I was living it all over again. Thrill's and pill's rhythm and blues, the legendary Ealing Club, Island Records, Chris Blackwell Nirvana in Tin Pan Alley, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Guy Stevens, Mickie Most, Paris with Salvador Dali, Rio De Janeiro with Jimmy Cliff, The Star Club in Hamburg, Stockholm, Belguim, Tangiers and the "happenings." When I stopped writing four months later I had a book. I had been there and lived to tell the story. Today so many years on people fantasize and wonder about those crazy days and often ask me "What were the 'sixties' like? It must have been a crazy time! I wish I had been there." Well my story is for you and it is also for those who were there and did not make it to the other side. Have a good trip. Patrick Nirvana. April 2009
