yes I was in the studio for various recordings.. and I was asked to 'sing' on '2000 Light Years From Home'. Actually a lot of us were asked to sit on the floor around the microphone and sing.. I really can't use the word, sing, when it refers to what comes out of my mouth..I was the kid in class that was asked to mouth the words as I threw everyone else off..

IORR got me thinking. I noticed an interesting discussion when I signed on a few weeks ago--San Diego 11th Nov 69 - it was a discussion on whether or not a matinee show was played by the Stones on the 11th in San Diego on the '69 tour, after all there was a possible poster My memory was blurry as was everyone else's that were involved. Even I thought there could have been a show. I had all

It was a choice, whether to put up a note from David Maysles,for Mick and Keith received during the Euro Paris concerts about the editing of the film, or to put up the note from David that showed the breakdown of costs to consider making a film. At some point I hope to show you everything...that is, if you care...

As I promised in my last posting, I want to show you the backstory on Gimme Shelter Feel free to comment on my blog, as I appreciate your input.

I am glad that you 'like' my posting. As far as an ETA for the book goes.. it will be 3 to 6 months-hopefully. I just started to talk to people that were in the background and have some new insights that will really add to the content and memorabilia that I have. It's been an interesting experience which has me waking up with my mind going wild with old memories. Luckily I have the documents

I said I would put something special up for the fans for the holidays and I hope that you enjoy this 'taste' of things to come.. For New Year's I will put up something from 'Gimme Shelter'..

Final Facts!! Not only relying on my memory and documents I checked with Chip Monck and the person that booked all our travel, Bill Belmont. I can definitely say that there was NO SECOND Secret San Diego show. The posters were wishful thinking on the part of Bill Graham, as he was hoping that by showing the poster, we would do the date. He had blank posters on hand that he would fill in th

the only thing I can add is that we hadn't intended to be that late. We sat on the tarmac in New Jersey in our little plane waiting for permission to take off for Florida and I mean sat.. It was hours and hours, everytime we would ask the pilot when we were leaving, we would get a different answer--20 minutes became another 20 minutes and so on for about six hours. I was later told we were held
