  • @mmonkey I was at a party in SF and spoke with Ed Hardy. He has the EP!

  • @mmonkey You were at the workshop in 81? I attended spring session. If you were there you may remember the lecture lecture "Where did I come from?" presented by Art Linkletter.

  • @larkstoungeinaspic My story is similar: Susan & I were dating in '80 south of OSU & we enjoyed seeing them whenever they played. Then I attended The Recording Workshop before moving to SF to begin a 20 year career. I will never part with the 4 song EP that includes "Stoney Knows How"

  • The Bass Plyer is my cousin Mike V.

  • Ron was my neighbor and friend in Victorian Village during the Trillionaires days. I think of him often and watch these videos now with misty eyes and a smile.

  • Rock Music is death... Live!!! youtube.com/watch?v=ChFyB2_XF5­w

  • It must have been Mr. Brown's where Frank was because I met Frank's guitar player Ike Willis that night at Crazy Mamas and we spent all night partying and purposely avoiding FZ who was quite strict about how much the band was allowed to party!!

    I always enjoyed Ronald Koal & his Trilionaires. Ronald was a reallly nice guy to hang around with as well.

  • I believe it was indeed Mr. Brown's that Frank came to, but I actually don't remember the venue. I was playing keyboards with the band at that time, a Vox Continental. Frank called Ron over to his table at a break and asked him what he was doing in Columbus, told us to go to NYC, and gave us the name and telephone of his publicist there. When we called, she said, "Oh, no, Frank didn't do this to me again...?!" I left the band shortly thereafter to tour in Europe.

  • Ron left the town a poorer place. I miss him.

    Zappa wasn't at Mr. Browns. He did come to Crazy Mama's... sat by me... not Trillionaire related as far as I know.

    Where the hell is Julie M? She blew the door off my oven making a pizza.

    You can still catch Todd with The Randys around Columbus... they kick ass.

  • They used to close with a cover of Buddy Holly's "Oh Boy!". I can still remember every note. Matt's playing is amazingly subtle and melodic, perfect counterpoint to the histrionics going on around him. RIP, Ronnie.
