Kantner was in Starship.
It started out as Jefferson Airplane, but when it got much much bigger than that and Kantner had sci-fi dreams of interplanetary crap, it morphed into the Jefferson Starship. But it was Kantner from the very beginning.
I met him and 2 other guys from the group at Maisson Jaussaud’s in Bakersfield. Went in one night and sat down at the bar when these 3 guys came up and started talking to me. I was ignoring them so they were trying to chat with me and said....hey, we’re famous. I laughed and said....yeah, sure you are. They said yeah yeah, haven’t you heard of Jefferson Starship? I laughed and said so? They thought that was funny as heck that I wasn’t impressed so they stayed and talked to me about 30 minutes. Finally they left. They had told me they were just passing through to L.A.
Looked up their pics the next day and yep it was them. Had fun with them.
Thanks, I should have done a quick Google to look it up.
Great music, makes m pine for the past.
