Powell St. John drew artifacts for Dr. Jeremiah F. Epstein (San Isidro Site in Mexico), then moved out to Oakland and started Mainspring Watchworks where he still writes music as far as I know. He wrote some songs for Janice, I believe, along with the 13th floor elevators and others in San Francisco. There is quite an interview with him and Roky Erickson in the link below. Ron Ralph

This brfings up long lost memories of the old UT Chuck Wagon days, cavers, and Arthur Simpson in Austin during the early 60's. On Wednesday nights the cavers would gather in a south room of the UT student union and sing folk songs. The hard core pickers were Lanny Wiggins, Pal St. John, Arthur Simpson, Eugene Blum, Mike Rowe, and John Clay. The rest of us were sing alongs with occasional appearances by Janice Joplin. On some nights we would be run out of the union and continue on to Threadgills out in the country on North Lamar. It was a hoot. Any of you cavers remember this?
