I got to see Sky Saxon a few times, finally at Asbury Lanes’ 2005 “Fuzz Ball”. ‘Twas sad when he died on June 25, 2009. Some other singer whose surname rhymed with his perished the same day.

Did I hear you say “Bald Headed Woman” was once sang by Lightnin’ Hopkins, Commie? I didn’t know. I did know that traditional song was recorded by both the Kinks and the Who in 1964.

@TAndy, I was at Cosmic Crossings too. An excellent couple of sets.
