Yes! That's it - thanks for finding that Scott.  LOL -
I could imagine Grace Slick as the Acid Queen more
than I could as the mother.

On the top floor, I was amazed by all the different
things that Pete wrote the lyrics on - envelopes,
hotel stationery and such.  Seemed like whatever he
could find he wrote on.  That led us to wonder if he
has saved all the papers that he's written songs on or
if he has just saved the stuff that he thought will be
important later, such as the material from Tommy,
Lifehouse, Quad, etc.  It would be interesting to see
his archives if he's saved all of it.
