Another batch of photos from my archive
Just posted on flickr:Â Norton and Bonnie, originally uploaded by dgans.

So far I’ve posted shots of Carlos Santana 12/31/76, David Crosby and Graham Nash summer ’76, and this shot of Norton Buffalo and Bonnie Raitt smooching outside a club in Berkeley.

Tucker Carlson at a DSO show
This guy Dinger blogged about running into conservative talking head Tucker Carlson at a Dark Star Orchestra show. An excerpt:
