Thread Name: Hamilton Camp?
Subject: RE: Hamilton Camp?
Always an interesting performer. I played some of his Dylan versions for Peter T last week. He used a Gibson Florentine guitar on a couple of early recordings and the sound was distinctive to say the least. What I remember him best for was a hilarious bit on WKRP IN Cincinatti when he played the owner of a stereo store. Johnny Fever was doing a remote when the store suddenly was robbed. Hamilton (oh he became "Hamid" for awhile) was running around the store screaming, as WKRP's faulty wiring hook-up started destroying all the stereos and TVs in the store. You had to be there!
