Subject: RE: Whatever happened to Bruno Wolf??
Yes, he did play and sing on my album "Having a Wonderful Time" in 1975. The only other bit I can add to all of this is that he got involved in Scientology, and it was he who got members of The Incredible String Band to check it out. Joe Boyd - producer for The String Band "credits" Simon with destroying the group.
I haven't seen David since the "Having a Wonderful Time" recording period. After the album came out I did a promo tour with a 9-piece group which included Stephen Bruton, Billy Mundi, Bill Rich and Howard Johnson leading the horns. David showed up at our gig at The Bottom Line in NYC, made his way to Howard's dressing room where he made some tasteless, racist comments in front of the mostly black horn section. "Get him out of here before he gets killed," said Howard. He left and I never saw him again.
He was trouble, but I loved his singing style. Hope he's alive and doing well.
