Well, Bill's bus broke down in Stockton, California, and we had to do the show on our own. Some few months after Richard Greene and I had left "Seatrain", Clarence White had left "The Byrds", Bill Keith had left "Kweskin's Jug Band", David Grisman had left "Earth Opera" and just produced the first Rowan Brother's album, Richard invited us all to play on KCET television in Los Angeles with "Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys" as a sort of "Father of Bluegrass and his Sons" show. Peter Rowan writes in the liner notes to the "Muleskinner" studio album re-release on "Ridge Runner Records":
The band spent a couple of days rehearsing, and when Monroe's bus broke down on the way to the job, the group ended up playing the entire show on its own. The plan was that these "youngsters" would play the first set, Bill Monroe and his band would play the second set and then together they would close the show with a jam session. On FebruRichard Greene asked Clarence White to play a show on KCET television in Los Angeles together with Bill Keith, Peter Rowan, David Grisman & Stuart Schulman on bass.

In January Skip Battin was sacked and John Guerin had returned to session work. The Byrds limped on into 1973 but around this time rumours were mounting that the original five man band were to reform and record an album. Clarence White biography - Part 5 After The Byrds
