  • The Orkustra
    THE ORKUSTRA This day-by-day diary of The Orkustra's live, studio, broadcasting and private activities is the result of two decades of research and interview work by Bruno Ceriotti, but without the significant contributions by other kindred spirits this diary would not have been possible. So, I would like to thank all the people who, in one form or another, contributed to this timeline: Jaime Leopold (RIP), Bobby Beausoleil, David LaFlamme, Henry Rasof, Nathan Zakheim, Stephen Hannah, Jesse Barish, Steve LaRosa, Rod Harper (RIP), Colin Hill, Ross Hannan, Corry Arnold, William Hjortsberg, Aldo Pedron, Klemen Breznikar, Reg E.

September 1966 Undoubtedly the most experimental and ecletically diverse band of the so-called 'San Francisco Sound', The Orkustra were put together by the infamous Bobby Beausoleil. A larger than life character with a mixed reputation ("He was like Bugs Bunny," says Orkustra's bandmate Nathan Zakheim. "Very in your face, enthuastic."), Robert Kenneth Beausoleil, aka 'Cupid', aka 'Bummer Bob', aka 'Bobby Snofox', was born on Thursday, November 6, 1947, in Santa Barbara, California. After dropping out of high school and let his hair grow out, Bobby moved to Los Angeles in search of fame and fortune in 1965. There, over the summer, he played a six-string rhythm guitar with The Grass Roots, a folk- rock band later known as LOVE, for only three weeks, and also made a cameo appearance (as 'Cupid') in the famous underground documentary movie Mondo Hollywood.

    Speed Limit Reduction to 20 MPH SFMTA Engineering Public Hearing Neighborhood wide between: Grove Street (south), Friday, February 19, 2021 at 10:00 AM Sutter Street (north), Mason Street (east), Online and Van Ness (west) Please visit: SFMTA.com/committees/engineering- New Speed Limit Signs public-hearings for weblink No Turn on Red Regulations Neighborhood wide inclusive of: Grove Street (south), Sutter Street (north), Mason Street (east), and Polk Street (west) No Turn on Red Signs The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) Tenderloin Traffic Safety project proposes two traffic safety improvements in the Tenderloin: (1) reducing vehicle speed limits to 20 miles per hour and (2) prohibiting vehicle turns on red. This project will address high crash locations while creating a more comfortable space for travel through the following changes: • Installing “No Turn on Red” signs at approximately 50 intersections • Lowering speed limits on 17 corridors from 25 MPH to 20 MPH Pending project approvals, implementation could begin as early as March 2020. Why lower speed limits to 20 MPH in the Tenderloin? • Vehicle speed is the largest predictor of injury severity • A pedestrian struck at 20 MPH is 2x more likely to survive than someone struck at 25 MPH • Speed Surveys indicate current travel speeds warrant lowering the speed limit to 20 MPH Why prohibit turns on red in the Tenderloin? • Turn-related crashes occur more often in the Tenderloin than other neighborhoods • Turn on red prohibitions can reduce vehicle-pedestrian and vehicle-bicycle conflicts and increase safety for all • Fewer vehicles entering the crosswalk on a red light can increase comfort for pedestrians For general project information and updates, we invite you to visit the project website at https://www.sfmta.com/projects/tenderloin- traffic-safety-improvements or email the project team at [email protected].
