The Glass Family  "When I was going to UCLA and then later Cal State LA, there were only three or four other guys with long hair.  Those were my friends.  Straight people didn’t like us.  They looked at us and treated us as if we were terrorists.  But the girls liked us!" -Jim Callon
The origins of The Glass Family start in West Los Angeles. Jim Callon formed a band to play surf music and covers at frat parties to make some money.  They went by a few different monikers at that point; the Carpet Baggers and the Soul Survivors amongst them.  A few years later when the band members were at Cal State LA for grad school, they changed the band name to The Glass Family.
They played all over Los Angeles, gigging at notable venues like The Troubadour, The Topanga Corral and The Whiskey A Go-Go, sharing bills with The Doors, Vanilla Fudge, and Love.  By 1967, they'd secured a record deal with Warner Bros. Records, who released their record in 1968. Although it never became the hit that they'd hoped for, the more important result was that the Glass Family were a piece of the puzzle of the times: playing gigs with Gram Parsons and The Flying Burrito Bros, Canned Heat, Big Brother and The Holding Company with Janis Joplin, and The Grateful Dead.
