The Elusive Bob Lind
Wednesday, November first sees a rare Los Angeles performance by singer Bob Lind, he of "Elusive Butterfly" fame and the third vocal apex of the Fred Neil, Dino Valente trinity. After hitting the big time with said number, Lind did it again with "Remember the Rain" from 1966's Photographs of Feeling (later covered by the Poppy Family). Soon afterwards he "left the hype and hysteria of the Hollywood scene" and moved to New Mexico where he spent his days "writing songs and riding his cycle through the desert." He returned long enough to L.A. to record the amazing Since there Were Circles with the help of John Buck Wilkin, Doug Dillard, and Bernie Leadon, among others. Well, Bob's back and the evening promises to be full of "heavy scenes" and the finer side of West Coast folk singing. Opening up is Mark Fosson, who made a record for John Fahey's Takoma label back in '77 and is now seeing some lost sessions finally thrown into circulation by Drag City.
Plus it's my birthday so it'll be kind of a party.
