Yes, two different gigs. I think the one I referred to was in 1964. My oldest daughter was born in February of that year and in the picture I have of her sitting on Rev. Davis' lap she looks about nine months old. And Ronnie Gilbert was definately on the bill with Gary.

Of course the fact that I'm referring to an earlier gig doesn't mean that Mrs. Davis wasn't called in to keep him in line. I'm only relating the story I got. <g>

My brother told me of seeing the whiskey routine at a party in Grinnell, Iowa, one time. And the glass wasn't a shot glass, it was a standard restaurant water glass (8-10 oz.) pretty well filled with Jack Daniels Old No. 7. At least I assume it was Jack Daniels since that's what the Grinnell students were drinking in those days.
