There is no more to tell -- at least not in a family forum. But I have more stories. Here's one:

We all came out to Montreux, on the Lake Geneva shoreline, to make records with a mobile. We didn't have much time. Frank Zappa and the Mothers were in the best place around -- but some jackass with a flare gun burned the place to the ground. Dude... there was smoke on the water, and fire in the sky! It burned down the gambling house -- it died with an awful sound. Funky Claude was running in and out pulling kids out onto the grounds. When it all was over, we had to find another place. But Swiss time was running out -- it seemed that we would lose the race.

Well, we ended up at the Grand Hotel -- it was empty, cold and bare. But with the Rolling Stones truck thing just outside -- making our music there. With a few red lights, a few old beds, we made a place to sweat. No matter what we get out of this, I know, I know we'll never forget smoke on the water, fire in the sky.


True story.

Quote from: Detta
This reminds me of another story too.

I was walking around New York City with my buddy Nowledge and we saw this sign that said "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight".

So I (being intoxicated... otherwise I would have never pulled a stunt like this) jumped the fence and I yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you the right to put up a fence and keep me out or to keep Mother Nature in?  If God was here, he'd tell it to your face. Man, you're some kind of sinner!"

And they called the cops on us and Nowledge yelled at me in the back of the cop car on the way down to the station something about possession of property and stuff was giving that church the right to put the fence up.  And that I shouldn't have said that to the priest.


And to this day I call her "jumping over fences and yelling at priests after drinking too much Miller Lite Detta", or just "Priest Hata Detta".
