Lemonaide and I were still walking
Here's a post that I ran about Kak last year. Lately, there have been a lot of Google hits from people looking for Gary Yoder and Dehner Patten and this is what they get. I decided to run it again so they won't go away empty handed. Blue Cheer's website is not up currently but I'm leaving the links just in case they get it running again. Enjoy!
I found the Kak LP in a box of records that a guy dropped off at Sunburst Records. He just dumped them in front of the store, told Jay he didn’t have time to sell them and he didn’t want them to go into the trash. So Jay was giving them away and I grabbed this one.
Kak was formed in 1968 by Dehner Patten and Gary Lee Yoder, two Davis California guitarists. The pair had previously played in The Oxford Circle. Kak played shows around California and recorded one LP for Epic. The record is very good and I think it’s better than some of the psychedelic records that were popular in 1968. Some of the songs had hit potential. The label did not push the record and it flopped.
The failure of the record led to Kak to breaking up. Gary Lee Yoder did a solo 45 and then joined Paul Whaley, his old drummer in the Oxford Circle, in Blue Cheer for one album.
Gary Lee Yoder still plays guitar in Davis. Dehner Patten is living in Portland, Oregon and playing in bands there.

Does anyone know where Gary Grelecki lives now?
Gary Grelecki co-wrote some songs with Gary Lee Yoder. Last I heard, he was living in the SF Bay Area.
Hi, nothing beats googling your father. My dad, Gary, lives in Chico, Ca, not the Bay Area.
