Yo!

The Palomino--yes, the c&w bar once in L.A.!--was a major intersection for
discrete (!) interplanetary travellers.

There I saw Ra, and on another occasion received instruction in proper
blocking of my Stetson Homburg hat (which now befits a true gentleman),
courtesy of a big greasy biker-lookin' dude! Ya cain't judge a...And I had
been disinformed that John Gilmore, Ra's tenor-man, had passed away. Happily
he, too was there at the Palomino. Check _him_ out for sources of 'Trane's
style.
