well, to set these photos up... It was the mid- seventies. I had a group of thirty people, formed during my relationship counselling years. With them I did plays, performances, Parades, free concerts, etc. and we would get dressed in brightly colored outrageous sexy costumes that we made and went en mass to clubs to see our favorite bands... LEILA AND THE SNAKES, THE TUBES, and COUNTRY PORN. [I stole a lot from these bands for THE OUTRAGEOUS BEAUTY REVUE.] We danced en mass, actually becoming a part of the shows. The press started including us in stories about the bands, including photos of us. This was especially true of the photographer Dave Patrick, who went on to photograph THE O. B. R., selling the photos all over the world, both in mainstream Publications and sex mags! We always joked that Dave was the only one who made any money on THE O. B. R.!

so a couple of months ago, i tracked /googled down the lead Singer of COUNTRY PORN, Chinga Chavin. It took me three nights to do it because he is now a hot shit real estate advertising boss in N.Y.C. but I always get my man! anyway, COUNTRY PORN is still one of my favorite bands, and their [his] first album was a masterpiece... Which can be a fucking curse! During my research I found Chinga came out a few years ago with a live album made up with cuts from the shows of the seventies! Hey Chinga, your boy slave still hasn't sent me a copy! Never fear! I got a copy from Germany's Bear Family . It's the equal to the first album! I probably was at most of the shows.... But I don't hear me singing with you! [Btw, I love your cover of RUNNING BEAR!]

but we here were looking at the liner photos [see below]. First they obviously are Dave's photos... As I remember it, he was dating one of the twins of your Muffettes at the time. But as we looked closer at the photos, we saw we are in most of them. Even me harvesting a bare tit! It's good to be a part of history!
