LSD
I used to know Ted Aliotta when I lived in Carbondale, Illinois from 1972 to 1975. Interesting fellow. He had a very unusual beetle he kept wrapped in cotton he would show to special friends. May I add that there is nothing quite like driving LSD when listening to LSD. posted by Simon on 07.18.08 at 01:38 PM

I met the one armed player through an old girl friend of mine, Marsha Fript. His name was Eddie Balchowsky. He lost his arm in the Spanish Civil War. M. Simon · July 18, 2008 02:46 PM Thanks. I'll remember. Assistant Village Idiot · July 18, 2008 11:51 PM Here are two more videos on Lakeshore Drive and the song. As I have only used Chicago to get from one place to another , I have not actually been on Lakeshore Drive. Gringo · July 19, 2008 12:11 AM Play this song, then about 20 seconds in, hit play on the video from Waafa Bilal and listen to the audio at the same time. It's anti-anti. Beck · July 19, 2008 08:34 PM Yeah I knew Eddie Balchowsky too. His arm got blown off by a German exploding bullet while he was in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. He used to play Bach one-handed on piano up in Wicker Park where he lived. Ken McCracken · July 20, 2008 12:35 PM |

My band in college used to play "For Eddie," a tune from the next incarnation of AH&J, after the drummer had left. Great song.
And the stone angel hung on the wall up above
Looked out blind all the night long
But when the one-armed man played to an empty saloon
She looked down and smiled as he sang her his song.
