  • The History of the Turtles Featuring Flo & Eddie
    THE HISTORY OF THE TURTLES FEATURING FLO & EDDIE Very few rock performers have remained as vital through the 1960s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and the new millennium as have Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman... and as The Turtles, featuring Flo & Eddie, they continue to maintain a vigorous tour schedule. Two guys from Westchester. That's how Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (aka Flo and Eddie) refer to themselves. Two slightly bewildered kids thrust into the fast lane of rock 'n' roll stardom - hits, fame, national tours, hanging out with the Beatles, joining the Mothers of Invention, acting in the 200 Motels movie, and on and on ... Two guys from Westchester. Howard Kaylan (changed in 1965 from Kaplan, because that's how it always looked when he wrote his name) was born June 22, 1947 in the Bronx, and spent his first eight years in Manhattan before his father took a job with General Electric in Utica, New York. After the family moved there for a year or so, they moved to the Los Angeles area, settling in Westchester. Mark Volman was born April 19, 1947. After a brief period living in Redondo Beach, his family moved nearby to Westchester. Little did they know it at the time, but both Mark's and Howard's musical direction was forged by a crusty, old Mr. Ferguson who gave clarinet lessons in a drafty cubicle above the Westchester Music Store. Mark went to Orville Wright Jr. High, while Howard went to Airport Jr. High. They didn't know each other, but they both pursed their lips around clarinet reeds for Mr.

The last tour leaves at 3 pm Marin Rocks Marin Rocks is the name of a rock and roll museum that's projected to open this fall at 850 Fourth St. in San Rafael. There are certainly a lot of historical connections between rock and roll and Mill Valley. The History Room has allready contributed copies of photos to be displayed in the museum. The Homestead Valley Community Associa- tion has loaned the museum a "Brown's Hall" sign that has hung in the present community center for 25 years. Homestead’s community center from 1934 to 1972 was Brown's Hall, a Marin rock venue between 1965 and 1972 for such groups as Clover & Flying Circus, Muskadine Blues Band and Don Hicks and his Hot Licks. The mu- seum will likely also recognize the 2 AM Club close to Brown’s Hall where Huey Lewis and the News hung out. In June, 1975, a wedding ceremony was held in Three Groves, a park in the redwoods of Homestead Valley. The groom was Pete Sears, British-born pianist and bassist of Jefferson Starship. The bride was Jeanette Dilger of Mill Valley. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. Guests were brought to Three Groves from the Tam High parking lot in a Rolls Royce.
