Father Yod And The Spirit Of '76

Father Yod And The Spirit Of '76 was the first name used by the band of the Source Family, a Los Angeles commune led by Father Yod (James Edward Baker, 1922-1975), who also ran the Source, a vegetarian restaurant on the Sunset Strip. The group played largely improvised psychedelic rock, with Yod on vocals and kettle drum, and later continued as Ya Ho Wha 13. The musicians, among them Djin Aquarian on guitar, Octavius Aquarian on drums and Sunflower Aquarian on bass, began recording in 1973 in a garage at the family's home.
