Full Tilt: An itinerant musician's travels in 1967

By Paul Santoro

It's 1967, and the music and entertainment worlds are on the lookout for new faces and talent. Boston-born but California-raised, singer-guitarist Santoro sets his sights on a New York City success story, but finds something along the way that drastically rearranges his plans. He heads west and, after a harrowing ride with Neal Cassady in Mexico, decides to try his luck hitchhiking on California's Highway 1 with the Hippies heading north to San Francisco. Santoro's adventures continue in San Francisco, where he gets a taste of Hippie life and lands a singing job with The Flowers. His sojourn with The Flowers ends badly onstage at The Avalon Ballroom--with our man again heading out for points unknown.
