It was 48 years ago today that the Cramps and Skafish began a three-night run at CBGB in New York. The shows were wild, iconoclastic, and everything that punk, new wave, alternative, experimental rock and psychobilly should be. Also, best wishes to our beloved Lux Interior in the spirit world.

2-Darryl is not only an easy-going and great guy, but a phenomenal bassist, as witnessed by playing for Sting, Miles Davis, and the Stones. It takes great musical discipline and poise to not overplay.

1-Here's a pic of my son Jamie Harrison with my friend and Rolling Stones bassist Darryl Jones at the NAMM show in California a few years back. I first met Darryl at the South Chicago home of Skafish keyboardist Javier Cruz in the 1970s.

3-When Sid, unprovoked, smashed a beer bottle on the face of Todd Smith (singer Patti Smith’s brother), it was Jimy who rushed out from behind the mixing board, punched Sid, manhandled him, dragged him through the club and threw him down a flight of stairs.
