Yep! Never met him. He walked up to us, smelled his head and said something like “mmm, that newborn baby smell” or something to that effect.John Hamm really smelled your baby's head? LOL

I bet that was awesome!!Roky Erickson
Arthur Brown
Both of them, along with Jimmy Carl Black, at the same time. Fortunately, I was sober at the time (just a couple of cocktails). Roky Erickson was VERY strange. The other two were a HOOT! In case people don't know who Jimmy Carl Black was... he was the original drummer for Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. Notorious hard partiers, all of them. Anybody who knew Frank will tell you that he was a compulsive perfectionist when it came to the musicians he worked with and/or worked for him. Face it, the guy was a genuine genius. Jimmy Carl Black was a fantastic drummer. Arthur Brown was like a wild animal when it came to his music. They were fun to watch and even more fun to party with. Roky Erickson? Not so much. He looked old and like he was heavily drugged. He didn't really interact with anybody that much and he didn't perform. He was right in front listening to the band though.I bet that was awesome!!
Oh yeah! The Mothers of Invention. I have a mono copy of Freak Out here somewhere. I'm guessing he was in the group when they put out that lp (their debut). I'll have to see if I can find it and look. I can imagine Arthur Brown being wild as hell!!Both of them, along with Jimmy Carl Black, at the same time.
