CAPTAIN TRIP, 1973-1979.

James Edward Baker (1922-1975) se considérait comme un dieu. Il possédait un restaurant végétarien sur Sunset Trip à Los Angeles, 13 femmes, 150 disciples et un groupe de rock psychédélique. Baker n'est pas divin de naissance. Ancien Marines, il débute sa quête spirituelle aux côtés des Nature Boys, une petite secte de L.A. qui prône le régime végétarien et le respect des lois de la nature. Puis devient un disciple du maître Yogi Bajan. Mais James en veut plus. Alors après avoir abandonné son maître Yogi, il s'autodéifie et prend le charmant patronyme de Father Yod. En 1969, il ouvre son restaurant végétarien, The Source Restaurant, et crée sa secte, The Source Family. Fréquenté par des célébrités tels John Lennon ou Marlon Brando, le restaurant devient un lieu branché et rapporte beaucoup d'argent (jusqu'à 10 000 $ par jour). La communauté Father Yod s'enrichit, achète de nouvelles voitures et décide d'enregistrer sous sa direction les jams psychédéliques des musiciens de la communauté.

Father Yod & the Spirit of '76 est la première incarnation de cette entité expérimento-psychédélique. Après 4 albums (1973-1974) , le groupe devient Ya Ho Wha 13, Father Yod portant désormais le nom de Ya Ho Wha. Le groupe s'articule autour d'un noyau dur constitué de Djin Aquarian à la guitare, d'Octavious Aquarian à la batterie et de Sunflower Aquarian à la basse. Ensuite viennent les « invités » dont certains furent prestigieux si l'on en croit les multiples légendes qui circulent. Père Yod s'occupe des percussions, du gong et de toute la partie chant/râles/invocations mais n'apparaît pas sur tous les morceaux. Très productif, enregistrant live et pressant les disques dans la foulée, 5 albums sortent jusqu'en 1975, date à laquelle James/Father Yod/Ya Ho Wha meurt. Dans un accident de delta-plane.
