[FRIAM] frivolous question

[Prof David West]

In 1967 this band was on tour and Jimi Hendrix was the opening act for seven of the dates.

One member of that band inherited the fortune his mother made from her invention of White-Out; lives in Santa Fe and sponsors an invitation only conference there, with world prominent thought leaders discussing scientific/social topics.

Without Googling, can any FRIAMmer (especially those in Santa Fe) name the band and the member of that band?
