I saw you in Tucson- (mid/late 70's) you remember that old church that had been converted to a bar -down by the U of A? Great night! I have a vinyl LP that with "Sleepwalking" . HA! Gotta love that song- makes me laugh every time. Thanks for the fun- I love your music.
Damo I love Jerry Riopelle's style. HE is instanly recognizable, in any and every audible sense of the word, an American original both vocally and instrumentally! Good work Hoops on the upload, let's all hope You Tube gives the go-ahead to clear the space for MORE! Although the word Musical Genius gets tossed around far too frequently these days, but one can make an exception for the talent of Jerry By God Riopelle!
@subeewa yes I have his whole collection but youtube is cracking down heavily stateside these days because of label pressure and copyright law. I have decided to cut back but if I do release another video, it would probably be a riopelle since I do so enjoy his artistry. Probably something from the same album this appeared on. Check back occasionally or subscribe and you will automatically be notified. Glad you like it and thanks for commenting.
I first saw Jerry Riopelle in 1978 and I still feel he is one of the finest performers I have ever had the pleasure of seeing! As a quirk of fate, I wound up working with his son, Paul, in 1996. Paul also is incredibly talented. I think he still plays in the band with his father. New Year's Mardi Gras at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix was always fantastic!
@AlienPriesthood Man, you are so lucky to have seen him. I have never had the pleasure. Tempted every new year to travel but have not made it. Thanks for the comment.
Hey I would kill for a corpy of Carrie my away &/or Real Fat but I can't afford the $50 cd set. 'm always on the look for the album but haven't seen a copy in years. I kept replacing my copies because my dog kept chewing up the album.
Great song, Hoops, haven't heard it for awhile, Listened to it 4 times in a row. You wouldn't have access to a song called "Rosalie" by a group called PIPEDREAM i believe?
What a guy! He played at our barbeque in 2003, close friend of mine and an incredible guy.

For those of us who grew up in Phoenix, Jerry Riopelle was special, as good as Wallace and Ladmo!
