Jeff Blackburn Bucks the Odds
Dave Zimmer, Good Times, 8 June 1978
QUACK, QUACK: A familiar sound last summer in Santa Cruz when the Ducks were the musical hit of the town. But as the summer of '78 edges forward, the singing spoonbills are no more. Of the originals — Jeff Blackburn, Neil Young, Johnny C. (Craviotto) and Bob Mosley — only Blackburn is still making music locally.
