Skunk was also in Jimmy James (Jimi Hendrix) and the Blue Flames..

Paging Dylan...











Ok, I'll tell it. Dylan had to learn that long guitar solo from Aja for a show we played once upon a time. Note for note.

I missed the band table do a partial cover of "Reelin' In the Years" (if you can believe that...!) and I missed you two doing Aja? Damn.

It was a Cheer-Accident show at Fireside Bowl about 10 years ago. Thymme wanted to sing, so I got to be in my favorite band for a night. Mostly AOR covers (all of which I liked, for the most part). Steely Dan, Brazil 66, Stevie Wonder, god I forget what else. I think we did "The Idiot Bastard Son" at that show, or maybe it was another one.

I too missed the Table cover of Reelin. Would have loved to see Vito bust out that tasty guitar intro.

He's a fine lap/pedal steel player, too, as evidenced by the concert sequence when the Doobie Brothers were featured on What's Happenin'?

"Which Doobie you be?"

Skunk is a badass. Such an eclectic guy. Not Crap.

Damn, it was Larry Carlton on that song, not Skunk.

Eclectic in dogshit.

CRAP.

Only TDF has made the point that this cat is a military nut. He gives lectures on using music/sounds/tones in a warfare context. He has done work for the CIA - I'm not making this up, it's public record.
That's why he dresses in the paramilitary get up.

He can play the guitar though, that's for sure. A person I play(ed) with sang backup for Billy Hinsche last August at the Rickenbacker 75th, and Skunk was in the band. There was talk of me going out there to join her on 2 or 3 of her songs. It would have been odd to have been on the same stage as a touring Beach Boy and ze Skunk.

That was the best What's Happening episode by a long shot!
