Thanks for printing this, BK. I knew Stu mostly through the Adler House back in the day, and from my good friend, Paul Goelz. I remember we had Stu open for Fred Holstein, the one time I got Fred to venture out from Chicago to Libertyville (I was chair person of the concert committee back then). Between shows Stu was jamming with Fred in the back room. The extra guitar parts with what Fred was singing sounded nice.
