I knew don then during the time he was making Safe as Milk and he didn't like drugs . I was about 12 years old and spent alot of time with his family , his mom and his granny . I remember that Don gave me a stack of these bumper stickers that came with the record that had a baby's face on them and said Safe as milk . I stuck them all over the school buss and all over the school. I remember him John French playing me songs from Safe as Milk that didn't have vocals yet .

( lol ) The man and his tale are as strange and amusing as the music.

Priceless footage of the band performing.

@capoeirnesto With a Theremin! Played on the album by Dr. Samuel Hoffman, I believe...and there's no special effect on his voice but that's where the "microphone-breaking voice" myth came from because it happened at that session. Or, DIDN'T happen, I should say!

[weasels]

Yes, Ry Cooder has a glass eye
