Baby, get down tonite!

Achival image of the lyricist/bass player/vocalist who had a short-lived, but multidimensional career. Projects included The Puddlenuts, The BB, The Big BB, The Baja Brigade, Compan, and The Captured Person. Notable gigs at The Carter Garage/Living Room, Parmelee Bedroom Sessions, The Sielaff Organ Abla Recordings, and the famous Giant Toadstool Free Concert. Existant audio documents, film experiments, 35mm and Polaroid still images cannot recreate those heady days when superstardom seemed just around the corner. Who can ever forget the parental discovery of the "Nowhere to Go" manuscript? Strange days, indeed.

ENVOY NO MO'


Ah, the memories. It all started with Rey. Then came L,J and Elder with Cinnamon and finally Lana. Julia, Cindy, Jess and Christine. Fudd and Steves Cross and Delia, their Joyce and Cheryls. Ellen and the guy who called himself Carter who said she liked to get it on.
Jody, Kevin, Diane, and Peenbat.

The guy with the friggin' loud Peanuts music. Al and his Michelob. 'Lene 'n' Tom. The May birthday party. The Halloween Party. Getting locked out by the D 'n' D'ers. Watching Lori walk away after the Jerry Garcia date dinner...sigh! Andrew (and Jana--did I blow my chance with her?). Boy I would have done it differently with you, dude! Well, she it. This flippin' bdc done got me agin. See the next entry.

'Twas my home, now 'tis a castle

Does the hack work? We shall see shells on the seashore. Nowadays, the Denisse is family friendly, and diverse. Little too family friendly, little too diverse for my tastes. How I ended up next door is truly a cosmic coincidence.

Anyway, back to the list. Frisbee on the shuffleboard court, and the frisbee wall. Stolen batteries from the '72 LeMans. Not to mention stolen bikes (both kinds). The hole in the fence to TB, and ET's nocturnal forays through that portal for dumpsterbound burritos. Broken diving boards (those were the days). Bloody limousine drivers. A tryst w/the girl in #18, noisy skateboarders at A&W. Lazer pranks with the Dows. Glen and Mark and John. The girl in search of Steve Wilson. Ah, yes, those were the days.....
