MY ENTRY TO "THE WHO WINDMILL CONTEST"

Never one to pass up the chance to win a Stratocaster autographed by Pete, I dug out the the very first video I ever filmed with my GE 1CVC4030E. That camera/recorder ended up being a pain to carry around--not to mention I got tired of being behind the camera instead of in front of it. (I ended up selling it to the hapless George Allen--despite my impassioned disclaimer regarding the system's drawbacks--too bad for you, George!)

Anywho, when I slipped the 25 year-old VHS tape into my player, it was immediately eaten and mangled almost beyond recovery. After multiple repair attempts, I was able to salvage some of the footage and edited this brief clip for submission to thewho.com's "Windmill Contest".

Wish me luck.

THE VAULT AT THE MINT

(a.k.a. TSG checks out some rock stuff in 'frisco)

This weekend, the walls of the "Granite Lady" hosted
more than 100 posters, photos and videos
from the Bill Graham archives,
now well known as "Wolfgang's Vault"

Gripes were heard about the quality of the reproductions.
However, they probably wouldn't have allowed photography
of the originals, so I had no complaints.

1/11TH OF A COMPLETE ELVIS CARD COLLECTION

Because I had such a hard time uploading a decent-sized photo of Greg Parker's Supercharged Horseless Stagecoach, I decided to forego telling the story of my encounter with the former owner of Barstow's A-1 Towing. Maybe someday I'll have a bit more patience. Until then, you'll have to be content with my mini-King collection.
