Floyd Crosby and Aliph Van Cortlandt Whitehead’s son, Ethan Crosby, was born on March 7, 1937, and passed away in 1997. He was raised near Los Angeles. He characterized himself as a “loner” in his early years, preferring to read to socialize, and he only started performing music when his parents gave him a guitar when he was in the fifth or sixth grade.

Ethan and his brother David started going to Camp Trinity in the Trinity National Forest in Northern California for summer camp in the middle of the 1940s. Crosby was deeply impressed by the camp’s concentration on the outdoors and lack of dependency on technology.
