Description: Jeremy Lansman owned a low-wattage, listener-supported free-form radio station with his mostly absentee partner, Lorenzo Milam, in a seedy, decaying neighborhood in St. Louis ... Ellen Hopper was a St. Louis hippie runaway who heard about the washing machine and, being of the community and needing clean clothes, she went to the station, met Jeremy, and they became a couple, living and working at the station ... And what they did there in Gilroy, California gave birth to American music. It was also the last gasp of the Sixties and a bit of history in its own right"--P. 3 of cover.
