Re: Free Fall Band flyer
OK. I'm surprised you don't know more about Free Fall - full banner name of the group was (The) Free Fall Lyric Ensemble, later shortened to Free Fall. Clay was with Free Fall longer than any other performance group he participated in throughout his life. Free Fall played hundreds of venues and actu...

Re: RIP Lightning Rod - In Memoriam
So, OK my departed friend. I sit here entering my last thoughts for you before heading to Dallas to fulfill your last request of me. I am bringing Atomic Face Punch to Poor David's Pub. We will give you the Rock, Jazz and Blues you requested. We will do your favorite song. We will be too loud. We wi...

Re: Portrait of the artist as a young performer
I believe this image was captured at the Stoneleigh P bar in Dallas, TX.

Re: What Am I Doing Wrong?
Clay and I were sitting on the steps at his house on Richard Street in Dallas one day. He was telling me his take on right and wrong. At this point in time, he always exercised his Yoga and played his flute on a small rectangular rug bearing the image of someone's idea of Jesus on it. I thought it w...

Re: Cruisin' For Burgers and Fries
This cut was recorded at Goodnight Studio in Dallas, TX on the same day as Where Did Garbo Go? Clay, Wanda and I were sitting around one evening playing at ideas. Cruisin' was born from this sitting. I remember Clay telling Wanda he was going to steal some of her ideas and melody and telling me to, ...

Re: Where Did Garbo Go?
I was introduced to this tune while Clay and Christye lived on Richard Street in Dallas, TX. It was sandwiched in with some others - I remember Christye's "Solitary Harry" being one in the group we were considering playing on a KERA television show. I never made the show (I hurt my back) but I remem...

Re: RIP Lightning Rod - In Memoriam
So, if you read my little history of We Ain't Comin' Out, and listened to the available cut, you might be asking why the "listen NOW" comment. When I printed out the pages for distribution at the club, LR decided to include "Burn After Reading" at the bottom of the page, hours before the event took ...

Re: RIP Lightning Rod - In Memoriam
Just a quick history of We Ain't Comin' Out (original title was Wacko Waco): Lrod was fascinated by the events at the Waco compound. We were sitting around my house one day when LR pens the words and a basic idea of a melody to it while I crunched the chordal structure from it. The title got changed...

Pops, I have my arms extended - one pointing up, the other down with middle fingers flying solo from each hand in salute. Just like you like it. Just like you.

Re: Healing energy for Lightning Rod
Gosh. Take a breath. Pop is simply suffering a mild case of POE (Post Oral Emission). Trust me on this. He'll be ok. He'll use ADD (Advanced Digital Digitation) instead.

Turns out his visit to the "help me I'm a drunk" farm was really a visit to the Scientology Center in Clearwater to pick up an award. And the weird goes on . . .

Mmm, they don't go down like the shots of Lagavulin, Gleny or Jamey, but they go down well - almost as many colors.Lightning Rod wrote:You can see the shots that Barry took here:
