Subject: RE: Weird musicians we have known...
I had the privilege of meeting Eben Ahbez, the man who wrote the pop song of the forties called "Nature Boy". At the time he wrote the song, he was living in a tree in Los Angeles. He sold his song for some small pittance and it subsequently became a hit for which he received no compensation. He wore a beard and long hair like Jesus and preceeded the de riguer look of the flower children of the Sixties.
