Saw him many times with EB, a band I saw more than any other. At the height of his popularity, circa 1976, EB would play the Old Waldorf in SF frequently and a friend of a friend would open, so we'd get in on the guest list. Some pretty great shows, and EB's music was always perfect for accompaning the drugs and the booze AND the booze and the drugs, which we consumed with wild, passionate abandon. Another friend lived with Elvin's sister and I vaguely remember a party at their place with members of the Marshal Tucker Band and EB's band. Vaguely.
Must have been a good party...I was jelly in this period of time. Grape I think, but possiblly a muti-fruit blend.
Nice rememberance from you about your experience(s) with Jenkins and Baldwin and sorry to hear the about the subsequent tragedy of Phil Scoma.
