'Go to Rhino Records on Western Boulevard. You can get Herb Alpert and Jackie Lomax for 40 cents!' Wonderful stuff Lawrence your stuff has great resonance.

Oonk included below] Friends... We're very saddened to report that rock and roll lost another legend yesterday. Larry 'Wild Man' Fischer passed away yesterday morning at UCLA hospital from heart related complications. Larry lived a tough, hard 66 years of life. Even though Larry never did reach the pinnacle of fame and fortune he so yearned for, he was successful in inspiring and influencing people from all over the world with his unique brand of music and expression. Thank you Larry for your friendship, generosity, and your music. You were a one-of-a-kind talent with a 'one-of-a-kind mind.' There will NEVER be another one like you. We miss you already. -Josh and Jeremy (The Ubin Twinz) The Fischer family is requesting that if you wish to honor Larry's memory please make a donation to the National Alliance on Mental Illness: http://www.nami.org/ Like Frank Zappa said, I've traveled the world... and there is only one Wild Man Fischer- Larry ע״ה
