Sunday Sessions with Courtenay Pollock

“Far out man’, said Sonny Heard, “You can do our speaker fronts”. Rex Jackson stepped up and said, “ Right on Sonny, I’ll put it to the band “. Joe Winslow said “ Yeah man. Looks good“.

A little later I met Ramrod and Parish. I visited with them all for a bit and then thanked Frankie for the hospitality and said I would come by the following morning.

So that following morning I’m walking down the road to visit again and a car pulled up alongside me and this handsome, ponytailed young dude asked if I would like a ride. He asked where I was headed and when I told him he said “Well that’s my place” and we started chatting.

I had come across the country on a Greyhound bus following the advice I perceived from the throw of the ‘I Ching’ Chinese Oracle. ’Fortune in the West’ was the opening sentence of the first paragraph of my hexagram and so I had pooled my resources and got a bus to San Francisco.

So I’m just finished relating my journey to Bobby Weir when we arrive at the Rukka Rukka ( Stud ) ranch and he asks me if I need to make some money. I spent a few hours splitting and stacking firewood with an audience of hardcore roadies who’s ribald humour kept me going till ‘Chow Time’.

After dinner, Weir saw my artwork and approved the commission for covering the stage speaker fronts, after the band's approval of course.]
