Great article, and picture as well. You should think about using it as your (new) avatar. Thanks for all you've done in bringing all of us together here on the Forum.
I was not aware that in the past you had played the dives of Mission Street in S.F. Ever play the Town Pump, corner of Mission and 18th? I did, and lived to tell about it!

Yes, I played at the infamous Town Pump in 1975, with a band called The Plungers.
