Bert, I don't think so. By recollection — which is often flawed these days — is that it was a serious classical musician who got sick of jumping thru other people's hoops to work in the business and actually went on the road with the naked act as a sorta up-your-nose gesture to the stuffed shirts. Wish I could remember more of the whos and whys of it, but it didn't seem important to me at the time....david
