As some of you know, i am a guitarist/songwriter who had achieved a
modest degree of notoriety for my work with Steve Miller, Hot Tuna,
Big brother & the Holding Co., Van Morrison, Greg Kihn and...., OK,
enough of THAT, right? Suffice to say I make enough off music to
support my poster habit.
I recently hooked up with Richard Halegua at second-tier comic show.
Rich and I had a blast hanging out speaking reams of fluent geek
when I met a pal of his. We hit it off instantly; he knew a LOT
about music. He and I we both stunned to discover that I knew many
of his decades old vinyl bootleg cover art, including an EC-style
"Tale from the Who". We bullshitted for a very long time and i
mentioned that I had just finished what i felt was my absolute best
collection of musical work. He agreed to do the cover, and deal was
struck. Shortly after, I discovered he was none other than Willam
Stout, an album artist, movie poster designer ("Wizards" comes to
mind, , the set designer for ZZ Top's early 90s tour, and th creator
of many of the undead pinks in "The Return of the Living Dead" .
He told me recently that he would have purchased my CD regardless
and considered it string career renaissance for me. The CD is now up
for Best Rock CD at the San Diego Music Awards, among other honors.
Final side note: my pal was playing the CD (titled "Flight of the
Golden Dragon" by Greg Douglass & the Accomplices when Steve
Miller's manager dropped. He exclaimed, "Holy s**t, who is THAT?".
My pal informed him it was me. Mr. Miller, my former boss, was
called and 15 minutes later I was the opening act on October 8 at
the Sonoma Music Festival, going on before Paul Barrere , Dave
Mason, and... Steve Miller. I am under consideration for an opening
slot on an upcoming world your if things go well.
Somehow, MOPO played a part in the whole thing maybe I'll be able to
get a another copy of that INVISIBLE GHOST sheet i so floating let
go of during a moment of unfortunate $tupidity.
The CDs in question are available on Ebay, ten bucks + zero
shipping, if you wish to hear what the hubbub is about.
Yes, I am living proof that it is possible to be both a dweebus
Americanus and at least borderline cool.
