Doc,
Do you mean Skip Batten I think his name was, he was the bass player for the Byrds. I remember seing them a few times, at the Filmore and at Hofstra with the MC5...
I still listen to the Untitled album with Chestnut Mare on it, and Byrdmaniax, and Further Along too...

| Skip played with the New Riders of the Purple Sage after the Byrds, as well. I remember that Hofstra show!!! Weird mix of music, eh? |

I remember 'Chestnut Mare' or I should say that I remember Doc reciting and singing it over and over and over again...He was addicted to that song for what seemed like an eternity!

I remember giving the nickname " Chestnut Mare " to a girl at the Green, does anyone remember her name or who it was? The name Michelle with Blonde hair sort of sticks out in my memory?

Now if doc the factman knows the answer to the above question, I will really believe that he is god, even though everyone on this website has already come to this conclusion.
Frank, why don't you just do a google search, type "Chestnut Mare", and maybe her name will come up. There's a friggin' website for everything else, so....

Elena, I think looking for that would be stretching the power of the web a bit much..I know I was the great and poweful Bean back in those days but even I had my limitations...
