Stony Brook People appearing on "Something Else" (1970)

Our appearance on Something Else, hosted by John Byner, was in 1970. It was filmed in Old Town, the original location of the city that is now San Diego, CA, which was being restored as a tourist attraction. There is an old Spanish Mission on the hill above the town, which was used in one of the scenes on the show. Our shoot was in the courtyard of a Spanish-style hacienda, which is now a restaurant. They had set up tracks for the cameras and positioned us throughout the courtyard. We knew that we would be lip-syncing to a pre-recorded track, so we only brought a few instruments with us. Our guitarist, Mike, played his guitar and Joy played her flute. Our drummer, Eddie played a drum kit that we borrowed from someone on the show. Our bass player, Mark, played the cowbell and our organist and leader, George, played Mark’s bass guitar.
