Starshine
On March 4, 1970, Hargrove attended one of Starshine's shows in St. Cloud, and published a negative review where he singled out the bass playing of Alfred van der Want for criticism. Gellner sent a letter to the Minneapolis Tribune challenging Hargrove to do better, and Hargrove went to meet the band, playing a bass routine that won favor with Gellner. Since Want was growing tired of the band's regional popularity, he suggested Hargrove take his place, to which he accepted.
