Guitarist/songwriter Gary Lee Yoder and three classmates at Davis High School formed Oxford Circle in the 1960s (in the photo he's holding, he’s second from left). They went on to play some of the most storied concert venues in the Bay Area during the San Francisco Sound of the late 1960s. After the band broke up, Yoder co-founded Kak and then joined Blue Cheer. Eventually he moved back to Davis, where he lives now, and on today’s show he tells stories from 40 years in music--including the summer day he was walking on F Street after Oxford Circle dissolved, and he was offered a record deal with CBS. For real. JAN 2016 UPDATE: Here's a followup interview from early 2016.
