From: Los Angeles, CA, USA
Very little is known of L.A. native Gerry Pond, who issued one outstanding folk-psych 45 ('The Happiness Song' b/w 'The Sometime Girl') on the Reprise label in the summer of 1966. The record has a fantastic vibe to it and was obviously inspired by Donovan, including a very similar vocal style.
Pond now goes by the name Guru Singh and travels the world teaching yoga. He has also written several books and released a great deal of LPs under this new moniker.
