The thing is, a fair amount of the musicians still with us and playing aren't all that interested in talking about the "old days." Holland is a particular example... ONLY wanted to talk about his new records and pretty much had no interest in talking about the '70s or the '60s.
You do know he died this year, right?
Tintweiss is still alive, yes. This thread makes me happy - serves as a reminder how many great musicians are still with us.
Praskin was like 16 when he made that record, too!
Our fellow board member "caravan" shared with me some fantastic photos of the Dutch scene in the '60s and '70s, of which he was a part. Not sure if he wants his identity public beyond what I'm telling you.

He disowned it.
Jason Weiss is doing an oral history of ESP, so I hear. Brackeen is alive but has a lot of "problems," so he might not be easy to reach or talk to. He's in LA.
I recall you getting that one pretty cheaply - the LP, not the pre-amp. Still holding out hope that Hum Dono will get proper treatment someday... that is an incredible record.
