23 May 01 - 09:30 AM (#468592) Subject: RE: Sweet Pie, From: RWilhelm I don't know where he is now but I saw him in Salsbury Beach, MA in the 70's. He played piano buck naked and would brutally insult audience members between songs. A hell of a show. I heard he spent his winters in Florida. |
23 May 01 - 12:01 PM (#468702) Subject: RE: Sweet Pie, From: LR Mole He played URI a number of times around '76--'80, I think .Used to feature a tune about his ex-girlfriend Kay, encouraging audience members to inform her that he was still available. One night Marceau gave a performance at another building, and I was listening to Pie when a coed and (presumably) her mother came in for a drink after the mime show. The whole audience, on cue,happened to erupt into the song's tag line."IF YOU SEE KAY" we all roared happily.The coed and her mom left. |

20 Dec 10 - 06:35 PM (#3058123) Subject: RE: Sweet Pie,pianist/blues shouter/nudist/satirist From: GUEST,Blues in Phoenix I just saw my first Sweet Pie show on Sat Dec 18, 2010. He was opening for Candye Kane at the Rhythm Room here in Phoenix. She talked him to leaving his book store for a day and be her opening act. It seems we were a virgin audience, nobody there had ever seen his act (or his as*) before. I can truly say it was a very different show and we all thoroughly enjoyed it (he even played an encore). FYI - he is still looking for Kay. |

My grandmother, aunt, uncle, mother and dad took me to the Blue Moon in 1980 for my birthday. Sweet Pie, wearing naught but a sandwich sign stating "have a piece of Pie" and featuring drawings of various body parts (which he soon shed) hosted a very unique and memorable show. |
