John Byrne Cooke experienced the 1960s within the music of the counterculture. As a member of the Charles River Valley Boys bluegrass band in Cambridge, Massachusetts, his musical home was the legendary Club 47, one of the principal wellsprings of the folk-music boom. When folk gave way to rock and roll, John moved to San Francisco, home of the Haight-Ashbury and acid rock, to become the road manager for Big Brother and the Holding Company and Janis Joplin. Through it all, he was taking pictures.
