During 1968-1970 I played in a garage band. My Dad had contacts at Pilgrim State and "voluntered" us to play at a couple of their social gathering during these years. I can remember driving my 61 Ford Falcon station wagon loaded with some equipment to their auditorium. We were isolated from the patients and the staff made sure we played decent music and kept the patients from too much socializing on the floor. It was a chance for us to play but very sad to watch how people reacted and the way they were treated.
