Sorry, I lied.
Well, not really, but I had a brain fog senior moment.
Gibbons band was “the moving sidewalks”.
The “13th floor elevators” was a different band around the same time in Houston.
Right era and right place,I just got mixed up.

Thanks for letting me know I hadn’t missed something-all I really knew about who was in 13th Floor Elevator was what a co-worker from Center Point told me awhile back-one of the former band members was shot to death in the late 70’s and is buried in Center Point-he was blown away by his wife in a domestic dispute, and the founder, Rocky Erikson is still a lunatic-he has been mentally ill since his teens supposedly-his brother has been his legal guardian most of that time-but their music was good acid/psychedelic rock...
