April 1968 — Bill Kinzie of Ferrisburgh was earning $600 a week as the drummer with a “Top 40-type’ band playing a club in Palm Springs, Calif. “I never dressed the way they did,” he says. “After about six months, I was told: ‘We’re going to Vegas, and you’re not.’”
A year earlier, in Los Angeles, Kinzie was a production assistant for The Cowsills, a family of pop singers and the premier act on the MGM record label.
