The story of how and where I got this stuff is told on the "whatup" page.


A rare production of ©Private Stash Records (P.S.002) by Novato Frank

Side A - "Grow Your Own" Side B - "Marijuana"
both ©1977 by F. Bonomolo and Private Stash Records, P.O.Box 121, Penngrove, Ca. 94951

This was supposidly a private effort recorded at the Grateful Dead's ranch studio in Novato, Ca. Some of the names listed are real and some are aliases. The percussionist listed as "Mick 'Professor' Leadfoot" may be Micky Hart, but I'm not positive. I recently found out that Tor Dietrichson is indeed a real person. The 45 is recorded on green vinyl.

The fine print on the back cover reads as follows...

(The Sound Of Novato)

I'd love to make a sound clip available, but I don't have a way to get it into the computer. I can supply a tape if someone can help out in that regard. If you can help, talk to .
