Happy 78th Birthday to Country Joe McDonald ! January 1, 2020

4

Joe and I at, of all places, the Trident. Many of you know that Janis Joplin hung out pretty regularly at the Trident. Not everyone knows that her and Joe were romantically involved. If you’d like to know more I’ll include a couple of links here to fill you in.   Happy Birthday Joe, and all the best! Thanks for all your incredible music and great energy!

I worked at the Trident from 1974 to 1976 when it was temporarily closed before reopening almost a year later with a new crew & menu. The era covered here is 1966 to 1980 when the Trident was "Magic!" Mark Danforth Lomas 805.845.2888 MDLomas@gmail.com
