Owsley was the scion of a political family from Kentucky.His father was a government attorney, and his namesake and grandfather, Augustus O.Another ancestor, William Owsley, also served as Governor of Kentucky in the mid 1800s.Exploration of current online genealogy sites shows that the Owsley family line stretches back through Colonial America to landed aristocracy in England, and is related to many of the royal families of Europe; indeed, Owsley appears to be a direct descendant of Charlemagne.Owsley served in the U.Later, inspired by a 1958 performance of the Bolshoi Ballet, he began studying ballet in Los Angeles, supporting himself for a time as a professional dancer.In 1963, he enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley where he became involved in the psychoactive drug scene.TV, and began producing LSD in a small lab located in the bathroom of a house near campus.He beat the charges and successfully sued for the return of his equipment.He used his Berkeley lab proceeds to buy 800 grams of lysergic acid monohydrate, the basis for LSD.His first shipment arrived on March 30, 1965.He produced 300,000 capsules (270 micrograms each) of LSD by May 1965 and then returned to the Bay Area.In September 1965, Owsley became the primary LSD supplier to Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters; by this point Sandoz LSD was hard to come by and "Owsley Acid" had become the new standard.Owsley attended the Watts Acid Test on February 12, 1966 with his new apprentice Tim Scully and provided the LSD.Owsley met the members of the Grateful Dead in 1966 and began working with them as their first soundman (and helping to finance them).Dead's equipment in the jumble of multiple bands' identical black equipment boxes at festivals.The lightning bolt design came to him while driving one night in a thunderstorm.Owsley suggested to Bob Thomas that the words "Grateful Dead" might be drawn beneath the red white and blue circled bolt in such a way that it looked like a skull; Bob went off and returned, having discarded the hidden word concept, with the now familiar Grateful Dead icon.His initial motivation for creating what he dubs his "sonic journal" was to improve his ability to mix the sound, but the fortuitous result was an extensive trove of recordings of the Grateful Dead during what many consider their heyday.Focusing on quality and clarity of sound, he favored simplicity in his miking, and his tapes are widely touted as being unrivaled live recordings.While many Owsley recordings have been released, many, many more remain unpublished at this time.Owsley and Scully built electronic equipment for the Grateful Dead until late spring 1966.At this point Owsley rented a house in Point Richmond, California, and Owsley, Scully, and Melissa Cargill (Owsley's girlfriend who was a skilled chemist) set up a lab in the basement.Owsley developed a method of LSD synthesis which left the LSD 99.The Point Richmond lab turned out over 300,000 tablets (270 micrograms each) of LSD they dubbed "White Lightning."Scully set up the new lab in the basement of a house across the street from the Denver zoo in early 1967.Scully made the LSD in the Denver lab while Owsley tableted the product in Orinda, California.Owsley and Scully also produced a new psychedelic they called STP.STP was distributed in the summer of 1967 in 20mg tablets and quickly acquired a bad reputation.Owsley and Scully made trial batches of 10mg tablets and then STP mixed with LSD in a few hundred yellow tablets but soon ceased production of STP.Owsley and Scully produced about 196 grams of LSD in 1967, but 96 grams of this was confiscated by the authorities.Owsley as an "LSD Millionaire" following his arrest inspired the Grateful Dead song "Alice D.The same year, Owsley officially shortened his name to "Owsley Stanley".After he was released from prison, Owsley (1999 pic) went on to do more sound work for the Grateful Dead.Later, he would work as a broadcast television engineer.Australian citizen since 1996, Owsley and his wife Sheilah live off the grid in the bush of Far Northern Tropical Queensland where he creates sculpture, much of it wearable art, though he himself does not refer to it as jewelry.He has 2 sons and 2 daughters by 4 different women; Peter and Nina preceded the 1960s, while Starfinder and Redbird followed them.He claims to have eaten almost nothing but meat, eggs, butter and cheese since 1959 and that he believes his body has not aged as much as the bodies of those who eat a more "normal" diet.Musical references
