    oh yeah- - I just remembered ,, many ,many yrs ago ,when Joe Walsh lived in Montclair NJ, about 10 minutes from Manhattan -his basement apartment was always jammin...Mostly filled with local musicians, it was always fun to hang out , smoke and bullshit the hours away.
    Joe was the one that became famous...although a few of the others very were very talented -

    Owsley (Bear) once showed me the jewelry he made at home in Queensland. He handed me a jeweler's loupe so I could see it up close. Very nice platinum and silver stuff, including a few pieces with his famous "Steal Your Face" design.

    I also smoked a joint with Mountain Girl and John Perry Barlow.

    I met Phil Lesh at a book signing.

    I met Joan Baez last year after a concert she did here...it was a small thing with 400 people. My friend and I waited around afterwards hoping to meet her, and we did! At 24 and 25, we certainly looked like the youngest members of the audience.

    A few weeks ago I was blessed enough to attend a PAUL MCCARTNEY CONCERT! @___@ One of my ultimate dreams! Didn't get to meet him, but just being in the same room as my favorite Beatle and hearing him sing Blackbird and Hey Jude and Let It Be LIVE just....was beyond belief. I am so lucky. ;__________;

    In the 80s , I was in a club in North Hollywood and ended up sitting with Bonnie Bramlets daughter. She told me a story that entailed Bonnie knocking a well known musician off his stool in a bar for calling Ray Charles a stupid N word.

    I smoked dope with The James Gang and Joe Walsh one night after a concert. Just those three, me and my college room mate. They eventually kicked us out as they had to travel somewhere the next day.​
