Excited to listen to this podcast. I loved the show as a kid. My dad was a drummer in a rock band in the 60’s and 70’s and had a regular gig in San Fransisco. Peter Tork would frequent, give my dad’s band some ideas and would actually all hang out after at his place. I didn’t know this until recently. When I was a kid both my mom and dad mentioned they had been friends with him before I was born, mentioning it when they saw me watching and enjoying shows in the early 80’s, but they never expanded on it. Part of me wonders… booze and pot? 😂 In high school I worked at a movie theatre and he quickly came in once, and ducked inside while I think his wife bought the tickets. I didn’t get a chance to say anything. He struck me as the quiet one on the show and he was very much that in passing.

Its really cool that you got to get a glimpse of your parents' early life. I have heard that he liked to partake, even on set.
