Biography / Administrative History
Gordon "Grode" Clark attended the University of the Pacific on-and-off
in between 1967 and 1973. In 1968, he started Stuart Little Band, which was
based in Stockton, played throughout northern California, and opened for many
famous acts of the time such as Santana and Jefferson Airplane. The band
members were Phil McKay, Mike McQueery, Steve (S.L.) Solari, Scott Liggett, and
Clark.
Scope and Content of Collection
The collection consists of a few documents and concert posters that shed
some light on Clark, his music, and his activities as a student at Callison
College at the University of the Pacific. Callison emphasized non-Western
philosophies and arts. Clark's student evaluations reveal not only his progress
as a student, but also the types of programs (yoga, Zen, and Buddhist thought)
that were part of the Callison College curriculum.
The collection also includes a selective representation of music created
and produced by Clark and the Stuart Little Band. The audiotapes include songs
and performances of Stuart Little Band and solo work by Clark. The music
reflects the psychedelic sound that was popular in rock music in the late 1960s
and early 1970s. Stuart Little Band and Clark somewhat demonstrate the life of
a local band during a significant time in rock music.
