Shit. I actually got to see him when he was touring with Phil Proctor after the first breakup. Great of course. The four classic albums came out when I was in college and I still quote them. ---

Crap! He was Lt Bradshaw! “Don’t get wise with me, peeper! You’re lucky we didn’t burn you on the Enselmo pederasty case!” **Voyager** , I saw him touring with Proctor myself. Summer of '73 I think it was. ☹ ---
