Alex also worked with Anita Shearer (Shear?). They both played flamenco and classical guitar as well. Lou is another for whom someone ought to dig out a discography. Lou was with the Jerry Walters Gateway Singers in San Francisco with Trav Edmondsen at the hungry i. Elmer Lee Thomas was a good singer there as well.

Alex is very cultured and knowledgeable about music.

Five-string banjo players might take notice, he designed a pick that up-picks and down-picks with the same finger.

Alex is known for his performance of "Gari Gari".
