  • WOW-he's just a baby in these pics! Thanks for sharing-I feel like a know the man, I enjoy his work so much. :)

  • shared a house with him in little venice london w9 . one could not find a more gracious personable human being

  • The man was pretty damn creative with the guitar

  • what song is this?

  • I miss the old rascal. I remember him killing himself to figure out how to play and sing this tune-the Isley's Climbing the Ladder. This must be from the "Live in Chicago" cassette-I have one laying around somewhere!

  • I saw Snakefinger with Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers- about four times. The last time was in 1983 when they reformed for a "one off" gig at Dingwalls. They were always fun to see and he was always a bit crazy. I remember they did some kids tv show and he was sending out his wishes to "All those people out in TV Land"- over the top!

  • Hanx for sharing! Never seen these pics ever before.

  • works for me !!

  • A friend of mine was a local distributor of Snake Finger discs and I had a chance to hang out with Snake (Phil) at a party in ~1982. We'd all seen him with The Residents a short time before. I certainly enjoyed his musicianship, but as a party celebrity he was prettily narrowly focused...he wanted hash. I think that worked out for him, and, as I remember... the rest of the evening was memorable.

  • I had such a lot of fun hanging out with Phil in SF in the early 80s. He was such an original on so many levels, in so many dimensions.  Thank you for the post and for the memories.
