our local paper had a small article about his passing. it said he was a member of starship, a group that was to play in toledo next week

wrong- the group appearing in our town is jefferson starship-a completely different band. when i called and told them of the error, they couldn't figure out at first what i was talking about.

anyway - rip mark

Yah, I wouldn't go so far as to say completely different. It just the story of former band members squabbling over the rights to a name. I mean it's not like the two are made of total strangers.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

I wonder which former members are alive, which are still playing
and which group each is in, and what names they are using.

Paul Kantner
Jorma Kaukonen
Marty Balin
Signe Toly Anderson
Bob Harvey
Jerry Peloquin
Jack Casady
Skip Spence
Grace Slick
Spencer Dryden
Papa John Creach



I did a recent gig with Temptations, and found out later
that there are fifteen reincarnations of The Temptations.
Any member that played one gig as a Temptation
can go start their own group :lol: :lol:

with jefferson airplane:
paul kantner, marty balin, and a young lady who does a great job filling grace's role. they do more of the 60's era songs

the starship has mickey thomas- the singer from the 70's and after. i don't think any other airplae original members are involved.

i have seen jefferson starship in recent years-i enjoyed them. as far as starship-not my favorite version

I know your great response is towards the current 2012 line up, but just wondering:
did not Marty Balin and Grace play with 1970s/1980s Starship?
