Members spokenward Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 here's an odd remembrance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT91Ry5PJKk blue2blue mentioned "Sin City" in another thread. This has been hanging around in my head since then. If you happen to look in on this - film footage from the cover shoot of Gilded Palace has been edited with LA circa 1976. Of course, that would not be concurrent. So don't be getting all literal and whatever... Seeing the fairly elaborate cover shoot - even for LA based labels in the late 60's - reassures me that they did know that they had an important record.

Members Jeff da Weasel Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Sneaky Pete was a real renaissance guy... in addition to the Burrito Bros. and all the session work he did as a steel player, he won awards as an animator/special effects artist. The dude wrote the Gumby theme! Here's the obit. Rest in peace. - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
