OK, OK, this post is a bit of a stretch but there are enough hobby related
characters in the tale to make it ALMOST relevant (although a flame or two
would not be completely unexpected,,,,)
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.
