Hi Kids! Tex...Memories...For those that give a fnerk...He installed the Grovers on my Gibson J-50(He was a gunsmith and pretty accurate) and walked with Dylan at Mariposa. We worked together at SoundBox '71(Recording Studio) with Thad Beebe and Stephen Barry,.. Tex was doing the producing and I was playing the guitar..From midnight to about 5am. Used to leave McGill and cross the mountain and see people that could only be described as zombie-like walking on the hill...

Stephen was wondering if he should be doing music full-time...Yo!

Tex always carried a pair of mini-sawed off chopsticks in his left jacket pocket. Just in case...
The meetings with Lee Siu Pak were frequent in Chinatown...Tex and I studied AIKIDO with Max Villadorata. Some near mystical happenings over there..Let me tell ya.

He had a Randall knife which I admired. He knew where to get the best prices on the best cuts of beef. There were MANY stories, "Lawd forgive me for my addiction. partly truth and partly fiction..."(too close to Kristofferson) OR..."Lawd forgive me for my addiction, sweet cocaine, and chocolate women..." memory bubbles rising to the surface...songs that stopped being written in mid-flight...

Anyhoo..."I got you covered" meant something back then...Wish I could have talked to him one more time...Maybe on the next go-round...
