Does Dave Ellis rise to the level of "special guest"?

Wonder if he is related to trumpet player Joe Ellis who played with the GD on their 1973 "Horns Tour" 

I met a sax player named David Ellis in '88 or '89 who was a public school music teacher in NJ.  Kinda did a "Wait.  What?" when I heard the name in a radio ad for the first Other Ones tour.  It was determined (by someone; I forget who) it wasn't the same guy.  But maybe Ellises are like Batistes.  Making music all over.

My boss at the arts-in-the-schools non-profit I was working for talked him to into visiting our day-camp the following summer to demonstrate various saxes .  Signature riffs associated with a particular sax.

I don't remember all.  Baritone = Flintstones Theme, tho'.

Joe Ellis' obituary doesn't mention any immediately related daves.

cool he played for ray price

This Dave Ellis is from Ratdog, right? 

 I saw him with the Legions of Melvin, he was good -- not great, but good enough.

Same guy from early ratdog years, yes. He was in the other ones and he and jay lane also played together in the Charlie hunter trio.

After my day trip to TXR yesterday, I find myself asking why not? Talking with another SoCal zoner about this. We'll see how it pans out.

I say go for it.

You could get some good photos of Melvin & FJ.

Sweet medium goad, Lance. I actually had to think about who FJ might be for a minute there.

kimono boy....

...risking his life for your entertainment.

God bless him for his sacrifice.

Saturday's sold out...

Though I already posted to the ticket folder.... 

Who wants to buy my Saturday July 10 Melvin ticket ?

Also, I've never transferred a TXR will-call ticket before... any guidance is appreciated... I wrote to TXR but no response yet.

Llollo:  Very easy at TXR.  Either text new person with transfer from your name to their name, or write it out.  That's it.  Simple.

^^^ Too easy, almost.  Thanks Tahoe.  Now just need a buyer.... anyone, anyone? 

If no one buys, I'm going both days and can try to sell it there 4 u.  Let me know the 9th, Andy

You rock, thanks Tahoe, really appreciate it. Will email you so we can exchange phone numbers before then, too.

^I remember sending a photo of my ID to the ticket transferee (not sure if that's needed anymore).

I'm checking my calendar and will contact you about possibly purchasing your ticket. 

^^^ Oh cool, JohnnyD, hope that works out. 

I'm going to be in Oakland tomorrow morn if you want to meet up, free after 10:30, hoping to go up to the UC arboretum for a ramble.
