Blackburn & Snow

Both Blackburn and Snow were involved in the Bay Area music scene since 1964, and became romantically involved in 1965, living together in Berkeley, California and performing together in local clubs. They signed a contract in December 1965 with Kingston Trio producer Frank Werber's Trident Productions. Trident issued two Blackburn & Snow singles which were recorded in 1966: "Stranger in a Strange Land", released late December 1966 and "Time", released October 1967; the former was written by David Crosby of The Byrds, although it was credited to the fictitious Samuel F. Omar.{{cite web|last= Unterberger ==Studio recordings==

Trident Productions intended to present Blackburn & Snow as a major new find, with Frank Werber later stating "my perception was that they were going to be huge." Enough material for an album was recorded through 1966 and into the spring of 1967, with Blackburn writing nearly all of the songs. The music the duo had been performing was electric folk rock similar to their close contemporaries Jefferson Airplane, with unique harmonic interplay between the couple. Influenced by The Everly Brothers, The Beatles and Buddy Holly, Blackburn & Snow recorded a number of straight rock songs with the backing band Candy Store Prophets, as well as some country and folk flavored material. The Candy Store Prophets were also the backing band for The Monkees first album and included Larry Taylor of Canned Heat and Gerry McGee, the long-time guitarist for The Ventures who joined that band in 1968. Gary "Chicken" Hirsh, later of Country Joe and the Fish, also drummed on some tracks. Production and engineering was handled by Randy Sterling. Though many completed songs were recorded, due to wrangling between Trident and distribution partner MGM-Verve, combined with some tension between the duo and Sterling, they did not see an album released during their partnership. ==Post-breakup==

While living in the Bay Area during the sixties, Snow joined the Subud spiritual movement and adopted the name Halimah as part of her latihan experience, but continued to perform as Sherry Snow. Following a breakup with Blackburn in 1967, Snow joined Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks as a singer, performing on the album Original Recordings. After living in Indonesia, London, and Tunbridge Wells, in 1976 she married English potter Bran Collingwood, moved to Balquhidder in Perthshire, and raised two sons. The program was abruptly cancelled in 2019 when the university, today called Cal Poly Humboldt, gutted KHSU radio station operations and dismissed all but two of the staff. Collingwood continues to reside in Arcata and is active with the Redwood Interfaith Gospel Choir. Jeff Blackburn joined Moby Grape in the mid-seventies; with Bob Mosley he formed the Jeff Blackburn Band which with the addition of Neil Young and Johnny Craviotto became The Ducks, playing a series of impromptu bar gigs in Santa Cruz, California in 1977. During this time, Blackburn co-wrote "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" with Young.{{cite web|title=Jeff Blackburn Bio In 1999, the mid-sixties Blackburn & Snow recordings from Trident Productions were finally released as a 20-song compact disc, titled Something Good for Your Head, with post-production re-mastering by producer and rock archivist Alec Palao.{{cite web|last=Palao|first=Alec|title=Blackburn & Snow: Something Good For Your Head ==References==
