1975-76 in Goa... Help me find my father

PeakXV · Jan 17th, 2007, 01:28

Another, idea is to get a composite sketch done of what your dad-sky might have looked like in 1975. Your current photo (albeit not yet mature enough) could be added to recollections by your mom ... add some hippie garb and with the great software programs that do such a thing these days - you would then have a very good likeness of him. Then with that image hit all the appropriate sites with the rest of your knowledge/details and with a bit of luck .......

See also http://www.goagil.com/ folks... (I assume it's a she btw?) This site is the one not working for you DH? There's a 2007 tour schedule there, maybe they're on the road? According to it, they're "chilling out in India" until late April.

i would try to make that fee structure a result based thing, though

else some unscrupulous guy may tend to string you along.

I think machadinha meant that he thinks goagil is a female and you had asked "Is he contactable?", I assumed goagil was male, though I have no idea why, so is goagil male or female? (I've not really looked at the website)

I'd guess that your new thread was moved here bacause any thread in the Yak, yak Yak forum is drowned within half a day because of the amount of new threads in that forum, and because it's best to keep all your info together, also, any reply to the goagil thread (now this thread) will bring this thread back to the top of the forum.

(in case your wondering, I edited your post a little)

Gil's a 'he'. Just looked at the site.

Anyone know if its pronounced with a hard or soft G?

That's quite a collection of photos there

Not sure why this is so confusing, looking at the photo's it's quite easy to tell the boys from the girls!

Goa Gil is definitely a Guy! Just look at the pictures of him in his travel's. He say's there's me in ... etc.

He also appearantly puts on Techno parties around the world.
It's all obvious if you look at his site.

Gil was the original driving force behind the Christmas, New Year & Full Moon music parties from the early seventies through into the eighties in Goa.
Originally fronting The Big Dipper Band and The Anjuna Jam Band, he was also a talented guitarist in his own right.In later years transgressing through Goa Trance to his own techno happenings around the world,,,,,,,,,,,

Here's a site that might just help you find your father.

http://www.echo.net/~cleo/dv.html

It's has a video and book that you can buy about the 70's hippies in Goa.

Hope this help's. Good Luck.

I went to a Goa Gil performance at Flo's in north Kathmandu about twenty years ago. Gil is definitely a he. Over the years Flo's was a CIA safe house and a Marine Bar. I frequented Flo's for the beer and the music. Perhaps Goa Gil doubles as a CIA undercover agent?
