The Good Commander and his band provided much of the soundtrack of my youth-!! Webb Wilder is in the same league-!!

I saw them play at the Troubador in LA in the early 70’s and got the whole band to sign my album after the show. Unfortunately I appear to have lost it.

There was one number I liked, can’t remember the name, but it was about a train that arrived at a station with nobody on-board.

This guy was the real deal playing country, bluegrass and rock with The Golden State Boys, The Pine Valley Boys, The Squirell Barkers and The Kentucky Colonels plus The Byrds.

He was Californian before it became a lib hell hole destroyed by NY transplants.

It was somewhere right around that time that I saw Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, Pure Prairie League, and New Riders of the Purple Sage in concert in the Kibbie Dome in Moscow, Idaho. Great show.

I’ve never seen that, new to me... but they opened for the Dead on one tour, seemed to be pretty good buds, both operating out of SF in the late 60s
